Interesting exercise, Mark. Can't remember where, but I recently saw a video on that very subject. Nice to have all the droplets on this beautiful bloom.

The droplets are very nice. I might drop the saturation on the flower...to my eyes, it appears a bit electric.

You caught a couple of good bounces in this single image, Mark, and the lily really adds to the image. All the intersecting ripples are a subtle reminder of the other drops that we don't see. Well done.

Fascinating image Mark. It must've taken you multiple shots to create this. I really like the color, the composition, and all the raindrops.

Nice use of the DOF. I don't think the color is unrealistic. I've seen them this vivid.

That pond has more than earned its upkeep in so many great photos, including this one. It takes a lot of patience to get a shot like this, and the stunning lily flower makes a wonderful center of attention with all those raindrops surrounding it.

You're quite the expert at these water drop images. Really like that one drop suspended in the air to the right of the flower.
