For lack of a better title.. I took this earlier today in a neighbor's yard. I think the small amount of left over rain drops are my favorite part of the image.

Nice, Ned! I can't wait for my Mr. Lincoln to bloom (and I have a spray bottle to add the mist ).

Great lighting. Was this flash? They layered petals in the top right are pretty awesome.
The only thing I'd ask for is for the edge of the upright petal (the one with the most water drops on it) to be sharper. (I can't tell if this is due to the ortonification or if it's due the narrow depth of field at that manficication.)

Hi guys! Thanks! As far as the shot - it is natural lighting. I could go a little sharper on this. For starters I think I reduced opacity on the top layer to 60% or less. The softness would be from the Orton-i-cashun I did on this.. (or a reasonable facsimilie of the same)....

Elegant is the adjective that comes to mind. Everything is perfect.
