This one got my attention even on the thumbnail. I really like the colors and the additional texture with the water droplets.

I really don't see too much to improve on this one. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful image Ned. Colors, light, shapes, composition, moisture on the petals, DOF, perspective - Everything works together perfectly. And I certainly agree with you about the therapeutic virtues of this pastime.

Wow, Ned, this is the best one yet for blazing color and great composition with the center of the flower moved off-center. And the dew, of course, just puts the perfect finishing touch on it. Congrats on the EP!
