Wow this is such a great shot of this delicate bud. It is so fresh looking and vibrant.. Opening to a new beginning, to make its surrounding a beautiful place with its presence.. I love to see the rain drops on the petals.. Your shot is sharply focused and the use of lighting is good. Clarity is great and we can almost feel the texture of this lovely bud...

It is a beautiful bud and the water drops adds a little interest to it. Good full frame photo, but maybe a little more contrast would make it pop more.

Stunning picture. Love the vivid pic flower in the foreground against a blurry dark green background. The dew drops make you almost feel it is a cool morning.

Wow, Mary, what a crisp clear and fresh flower shot. A delicate pink one with sharp focus, framed and a sunny bright exposure.

Comment from onyanita
its so nicely framed though could have had slightly more room right around. The colors are wonderful and the raindrops top it off. Focus is pin sharp and dof gives nice separation from the background. Gorgeous shot.
