We are having bad weather here, due to the Jet Stream. So it's rain shots...

Eight manually focussed shots stacked in Helicon software. Shot in my garden today. Canon 5DM2 and Sigma 105mm.

Looks like you're making lemonade from your lemon weather, Rob. Right now, I'd kill to shoot flowers with raindrops. Raindrops are almost always great for the mood. This is a beautiful lilly, enhanced with the raindrops. Classic comp and excellent stacking to render the entire flower sharp. :toast:

Very rich and vibrant image, Rob! Wonderful details from your stacking and nice comp. Love the designs in the lily and the bold colors. Raindrops always are a nice touch. Well done!

You should also hope for poor weather! Really nice image. The composition is just great.
