Wet snowdrops

We have had an extraordinarily mild winter up here so far, but boy, have we had some rain! Just for a change, I thought some snowdrops might be nice - taken in the rain with 1DS3, 100-400 @ 400, F5.6, 1/320th, ISO 200.

Lovely shot, we need some rain down here! Love the soft surroundings and dark background. The flowers really stand out.

I echo Dawns thoughts here Phil. I am not a flower person but it looks smart enough to me

Surely they should be called raindrops. I'll get my anorak. A very nice viewpoint of a beautiful flower.

You have made a nice job of those Phil. Perhaps crop a bit off the RHS? As there is no implied movement or angle of direction I would be happier having a more central composition. In fact, having looked at it again I'm thinking I'd take out the flower on the far left.

Great image Phil.....as you say mild winter. We've had daffs in flower for the last few weeks.......the weathers gone bonkers! Just a suggestion but perhaps a little gardening to remove the leaves around the flowers before taking the shot?
Like the subtle lighting and the raindrops really add to the image.

Looks a bit flat and dull - colour profile?

Not sure I agree with Phil. In my experience you need to keep the colours reasonably flat to retain the detail in a white flower - but I am no flower photographer myself as my few postings in that field amply demonstrate.

Missed this earlier.
Looks fine to me. I don't normally go for "mush" but it looks ok on this one.
