May:
Fresh and beautiful! Like the arching stem, the drops and the color.

May - Tastefully done

. The rain drenched Lily looks awesome and pops out of that dark background. Very nice front to back DOF.

I love all of those drops lined up on the pistils (? - I really need to learn my flower parts better). The color is very nice too.

Super details in this shot, May! The lily really pops nicely against that black background. The raindrops add a lot. Nice comp and lighting.

Wow, May, what a pretty lily. Love its color and graceful attitude. Such clarity and definition in the drops and the flower. Super clean bg! Just beautifully done.

Somehow missed this one before - excellent!
Love the graceful curve and the sharp raindrops.
Beautiful colours set off perfectly by the dark BG.
