New Guinea Impatiens

I think that's the right plant.

Decatur, Georgia
9/1/2017, 11:18:54 AM on a cloudy, rainy day
Canon EOS 7D Mark II TAMRON SP 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 272EE
f/14, 1/500, ISO 640
Aperture Priority, Evaluative Metering
Imported into LR, processed in CC PS 2017 and Topaz

Cropped a little off the left.

I think there's a bug at the bottom, and I wish it wasn't there (didn't see it at the time I took this), but it was too difficult, too many shades and colors to tone out.

I like the way the leaf at the top curves over the flower.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!

Barbara, nice color and rain drops. Great detail in the larger view. Perhaps a little more room at the top?

Yun, thank you!  I could easily put more room at the top.

Beautiful flower with good depth and detail. Perhaps more room at the top and darken the highlights in the LRC.

This is a lovely flower with beautiful sparkling water drops!  I agree with Yun's and Phil's suggestions.
