Soon after the rain

It rained all night and at dawn the full wet back lit Osteospermum was most transparent.
Three months ago I posted a similar photo different for composition and editing.

D800E, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/22 and ISO 400.

Allways grateful for your opinions and advices.

Outstanding, Gigi. Both this one and the previous version are gorgeous. I think I prefer this one for its simpilicity.

This is gorgeous, Gigi. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a studio shot with carefully controlled lighting. The backlighting and bg worked perfectly for this one. Well done.

Hi Gigi, great light and a wonderful high key finish devil

- Like it alot!
Not sure what the petal element is right of center which drags the eye just a touch (once you've seen it) (I would have been tempted to clone it - but we've had that discussion already enlightened

)
Cheers, Mark

Gigi, this surprised me. The thumbnail didn't show much, and I was dreading critiquing it, but this is much, much better than I first thought. I do agree with Mark on the petal cloning, though. sad
