Very nice, Dan. I like the isolation of the leaves and flowers from the natural BG, and the raindrops are a plus. Colors look great on my monitor. The flower may be a little crowded in the URC, but only by a little.

Lovely. It says Alaska, moisture and light!

I really like how you composed this to include the entire leaf under the blossom. Lovely colors, and the droplets are a plus!

Dan:
Beautiful. Love the drops on the top petals. Good color rendition and clean bg.

Good subject isolation Dan and I like the color palette and exposure. I might have been inclined to give it a touch more room in the frame but I like the image as posted.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate the feedback and agree that it's rather tight in upper right. If I remember the tight frame around the bloom was to avoid including adjacent flowers.

Nice isolation of the subject from the background and a saturated image. You mention it was a rainy morning so I understand the darkness but a bit of brightening might give this image even more impact.
