Went out this morning after the rain and the Trillium was blooming everywhere in the woods.

Hey Walt, lucky for you to find some Trillium's out, I just just two tiny flowers open and the rest still not open yet. I like the comp with the subject in the foreground. Good details.

Clear and crisp Walt and a strong composition as well. I might consider cloning out the white spot above the trillium at the top only because it draws the eye a bit since it's the only other white in the image. Even so, for my tastes this is a very fine image as posted.

Walt: I'm green with envy since we don't have trillium on our area. My only suggestion would have been to tuck the leaves under the flower in the field. The drops are a nice plus. >=))>

Very nice indeed. Great job exposing the white and retaining detail and especially the water droplets.
