Another day on the Main Ridge in Tatra Mountains. I was walking and looking for interesting specimens to be photographed, as the whole Tatra was covered by clouds and visibility was reduced to about 50 meters. I found this Pulsatilla alpina with its water droplets and decided to make o photo.

Please take a look at larger picture.

Nikon D200, with Nikkor 60 macro, f5,6, ss 1/500, ISO 200, tripod.

Any C/C are welcome.

Igor: This is a new flower for me so its a real treat. I love the red stem. It is a busy little scene but I like your DOF management and the drops are a nice plus. Good find and a fine image. >=))>

I find several forground elements to be distracting (most notably the oof gray object below the flower), but the dew drops are great and I like the background. The entire scene is refreshing, particularly as contrasted with months of nothing but snow I've experienced lately. Personally, I'd crop a little off the bottom.

Igor:
Excellent take on the flower, perfectly exposed, sharp with good details. The drops are refreshing. I also like the inclusion of the natural environment. I second Scott's suggestion of cropping the OOF foreground along the bottom edge. Nice fine and capture.

Nice mood to this Igor. I like the comp and I particularly like your dof decision. Very well done for my tastes.

After reading the other comments, I agree with Scott's suggestion about the crop at the bottom.

I like the feeling of this image a lot. The water drops add the the picture.
