Columbia Tiger Lily
I was doing a submission to a magazine looking for these today and I processed this one from my Oregon workshop earlier this month.

It's interesting to me that even as I was shooting this, it became apparent to me the rain drops are actually the subject, not the plant.

Thoughts?

Jack - good stuff! I really like this one and agree that the drops are the focal point, in a very good way.

The rain drops may be the focal point, but they don't detract from the Lily. Very nice, Jack!

Jack, The raindrops tell the story with this image. It's just beautiful. Great DOF and focal point.

Jack, you've got a great eye for original floral compositions - something that's difficult to do considering the number of floral photographs made! Another well crafted and beautiful image here.
