Comment from GaliaG


nice capture of the rain drops, but the frame is too big and too dark, it distracts and covers part of the flowers

still, a nice shot

thanks for sharing

A very nice shot with beautiful colors. It looks almost as if you are looking through a peephole into another world. Nicely composed with crystalline water droplets.

These Fuchsia flowers are truly beautiful and you have pictured them so well in the rain. All the droplets are well seen and they add interest to your photo. I do however think your frame this time is a bit on the dark side. But as you know, this is of course a matter of taste.

Your photo is however nice and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in all the flowers and the buds. I also think the exposure is perfect for a rainy day like this.

The format and the framing works well and the flowers have got a perfect placement within the circle. A truly lovely and well taken photo Susan.

    Annie,
    Thanks a million for your detailed & complementary review on these drowned Fuchsia.
    I put the frame around it to hide some of the white sky & clutter on the far side of the road that I could not avoid otherwise.
    The colour was to match the dark purple of the inner petals of the Fuchsia.

    Yes I realize that you picked the color from the photo Susan. I just thought it was a bit too dark, and you are more than welcome for the review.
Comment from Life is but a dream.


These girls look like they have just had a bath...errr shower.

I find the vignette steals the show but that is artistic prerogative and I bow to yours.

Your point of view is lovely and helps us to engage with the image.

Susan this looks like a lovely ornament! The framing really sets ît off,. The focus is well done, the DOF is perfect for this photo. Mother Nature did well and so did you!

very nice close up of your everlasting fuchsia after a shower; good globe or sphere framing; nice natural colors with sharp focus on the tiny droplets.
