Fantastic light and control of the whites Ram, and the composition is top-shelf in my opinion. Great capture.

Very well seen and photographed. The water drops really add to the scene. I like the way the red really pops.

Beautiful, Ram. I love the composition. At first glance it's a very simple composition, but the curves of hte petal intersections and the water drops add layers of complexity that keep things interesting.

Ram, I admire your ability to make something so artistic out of a small, simple flower - one that often goes unnoticed. Very nice comp with the lines giving the illusion of movement. The raindrops make it even better. :toast:

Perfect composition, colour and lighting, Ram. An image of great sophistication, with its range of sharp and soft droplets.

Your comp would have been enough to make this really good, but the raindrops take it over the top. I love how everything leads to the eye of the flower. :toast:

The spiraling lines in the petals set off the raindrops wonderfully and the deep red center makes a great focal point. Very well done.
