Well taken, Rick. I assume this was f/3.2, rather than f/32. Lovely colors and comp! The water drops don't hurt, either. :toast:

Lovely! All those drops add a tremendous amount to the diagonal lines and shades of pink.

Beautiful. Love the texture of the green stem, and the globe shape of all the water droplets contrasting with the lines of the petals. And the colors are wonderful!

Thank you all for taking the time to view this image, plus your warm comments. Phil - Yes, I corrected the f/stop to 3.2.

Just lovely! Wonderful comp of the wavy lines of these daisy petals with perfect placement of the green backing. Your DOF choice works well to create softness in the background. And, of course, those waterdrops are a fantastic addition. Very well done, Rick! :toast:
