Amazing delicate compelling shot. The line of the petal pulls me back to the droplet. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see your post again!
Very subtle and subdued colors. The V in the petals leads the eyes to the base of the flower and then the drops. However, my eyes tend to roam back and forth between the upper and lower drops. Wonder if might be better to clone out the upper drops and have the eyes resting on the lower drops - don't know whether it would work until I see it but worth experimenting.

Superbly composed and so well processed to bring out the petal textures and droplets to perfection, D & L. The muted tones are a real delight - they give a feel of the essence of the orchid. Beautiful image !

Really sweet. The delicate tones look almost human.

Very interesting perspective. The composition is great; the large drop is in just the right place.

Thank you again for the comments. We forgot to say that the drops are not water or dew, but a "produced" by the flower.

I love these portraits from the far side D & L. You have done a superb job with this image in my opinion, and I wouldn't change a thing.
