Comment from Ray Gordon
Lisa this is simply beautiful all covered in rain drops. I love the colors and the position in the frame. The focus is spot on and background adds to the presentation of the bloom. The best of luck in the flower contest. Ray

Thanks Ray, much appreciated! This garden was stunning, and had so many beautiful healthy flowers, it was hard to decide which one to show, but this one really stood out.

And you did not need to adjust this as such,full on photo of the flower and the raindrops add a bit of character to this flower,quite a striking color and it contrasts well with the greenery...Brian

Thank you Brian, I'm honored that your experienced eye enjoyed my photo. I didn't adjust much, but it was a little dark and I wanted those drops to be seen. Thanks again!

Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
A very beautiful visual presented here of this purple flower. There is so much detail within the flower itself that it draws the iron. Composition shades, tones, textures background as this visual delight. Well done.
