Beautifully caught, Derek ! Nice detail in the petals and droplets - the flower seems to be offering itself for the photo !

This is flat out gorgeous, Gary. The bloom is tack sharp and the water drops are the icing on the cake. Great job on the OOF BG also.

Gorgeous . . . I really like it. I also agree with the other comments on the background. One minor suggestion . . . the slightly brighter area of the background at the top of the frame is slightly distracting to me, as my eye keeps drifting up that way as I look at the bloom. Nobody else mentioned it, so perhaps it's just me that gets a bit distracted.
