Hi David,
nice job on this one,I like the colors of the flower and the drops are the icing on the cake. If I had to be nitty, there seem a little of sharpnening halo around the darker areas of the flower

Gorgeous image! The dewdrops are a nice touch. I love how the subject is framed by the bkg OOF leaf, and the triangle composition with the flower and two buds.
I agree with Emanuele about the sharpening halo. You could try some creative sharpening with layers and masks to help avoid that. But, it's not a biggie at all.

David,
Great looking flower. Image clarity is excellent. Good job on the yellows, looks very natural. I really like how you used the oof leaf to create a strong contrast against the flower and stem. That really allowed the flower to stand out nicely.

A really super shot and a very imaginative use of the BG to spot light the subject. I also like your composition with the plants leaf leading the eye towards the main subject. Quite simply an outstanding image.
Regards

Nice job David. I love the way its placed against what appears to be an OOF leaf in the bg. The water is a big plus. Sharpness and comp are excellent.
