Taken a few minutes ago out in my garden. The rain let up for a little bit, so I took the opportunity.

Beautiful coloring on these tulips Sue. The water drops give them a fresh spring look. And you captured them in quite a romantic mood.

Sue: There is a thread in the discussion forum about what to do when it is raining. This is the tutorial. Nice job. ><>

Sue,
This is gorgeous! I love the "heads together" like old friends, the colors, the lighting, the water drops,etc. Exquisite!

Hehe, you’re in the “wet flower phase” with your work

Nice one Sue and congrats to the pick. Btw., very good use of your flash here! I love the fading light towards the bottom of the frame.

Best,
Sven
