Gorgeous, color drenched photo, very eye-catching and appealing. Love the shallow DoF and the droplets that are just hanging from the tips of the petals. Very nice composition.

Initial impact; what a grand shot. Lighting appears to be all low ambient light. Action drinking in the water. Nice flower presentation. Color harmony is everywhere and fresh. Center of interest is the bright flowers. Cropping is nice. Focus is very good. Depth of field is blurring out the background which helps thrust the center of interest towards us. Story telling is in the artist notes.

Very nice shot. I really like what you have done here. I like flowers, & I like close ups. The water drops gives it an added touch to make this a very good photograph.

Foreground flower is nicely in focus with the raindrops being good and clear.
Nice contrast of colours.
Good luck in the contest.
