Tried to get this after a rain shower but most of the drips had gone so I hate to admit it but this was augmented with water from a spray.

Marvelous lily image. The perfect DOF creates excellent 3-D feeling. Superb details with very good BG. Only what is a little, litle bit disturbing is the bright area on the top. Very well done John.

John,

My comment mirrors Miro's. I like this very much, especially the composition and the bg separation. I might be tempted to darken.clone in some greenery in the grey area at the top. Aside from that one nit, this is superb image of an unusual and fascinating subject. The rich color and the droplets make it particularly appealing.
