minimalist and very pleasing on the eye.

Maybe be a touch more DOF, but that's a minor nit :toast: :toast:

Well captured Ian, looks very delicate.
Works very well with the water droplets too, great work.

Thank you for emailing me those links to photoshop tutorials for landscape shots, they look very interesting, I'll study them this afternoon.
I need all the help I can get cos my workflow is in a bit of a mess and I really need to sort that out.

Geoff.

Works for me Ian, could probably do with a tiny bit more DOF to bring the right petal into focus, or is that mush making it soft? A pretty picture.

The water droplets certainly enhance the image. Very atmospheric and delightful.

The isolation of the subject works well here with such a delicate subject. Would have possibly preferred the point of focus to have been shifted slightly to the front of the flower rather than the side, but given the conditions you describe, along with the slow shutter speed, getting anything at all was an achievement.
