Perfect, Bill! The color, detail, balanced composition, background and water drops all combine for a "top of the game" image! :toast: :toast:

Wonderful, Bill. Love the way the buds frame the flower like a candelabra. The drops are a nice bonus.

Outstanding Image Bill,
I second all the comments made so far and will add that the POV you chose was inspired and compliments all the elements in this image.
Well Done . . . :toast:

Just spectacular Bill! The plain background and green on green really highlights the flower. Sharp and excellent overall.
