Perfection it is Sandy! Nice dof, light and detail. I believe those are water droplets on the bloom, very nice!

Take a look at my Hibiscus posted this morning!

Well done Sandy!

Sandy - Very pretty Hibiscus bloom there !! - with focus right at its center. The water drops look pleasing too. Wonder if moving a bit more to the right to shoot would have accommodated the frontal petals within the available DOF.

Sandy:
Bright and refreshing. Agree with Ram about the forward petals.

Nice colors. I always enjoy seeing water droplets on flowers. The slight softness of the front petal doesn't bother me at all because I'm attracted to, and fascinated by the pattern of veins in the other petals.

Striking. Beautiful colors and nicely composed. The drops of water are a nice bonus. Nicely done Sandy :wavey:

"Practically perfect in every way."-Mary Poppins :biggrin:

This one really resonates with me. The soft richness of the color is outstanding. :toast:
