I've been learning (trying to :rolleyes: ) various settings on post processing. This is heavily cropped because I thought some of the individual blooms were quite nice on their own. So I played!

Not seeing the original, it's hard to assess the crop, but I like the color contrast, sharpness, close-up-ness (if that is a word, and especially the nice, pristine clarity of the water drops. Would have been appropriate for the macro forum too, but it is definitely "photo art", in my estimation.

Christine, I think this is beautiful as a closeup. The open flowers are a treat and the water drops are gorgeous, particularly the large ones at the bottom on the ends of the petals. Color looks true- just lovely- and the bg color complements the blooms nicely.
