  Great job on the shutter speed, and background.
Nice exposure to retain detail and color and not blow out.
Excellent photo.

  Thanks Terry, Donna, Bill and Deborah! I appreciate it! -K

And Terry - Just a little unsharp mask and small crop on this one. I've been experimenting with our sprinkler and these flowers for several days, shooting them off our back deck as the sun goes down. That way they have the trees along the creek as a background in the distance. It's taken me several tries to get the rain to show up lighted and twisting the flowers around to not have the flowers be too dark. It seems like 1/100 and 1/80 shutter speeds work best with the sprinkler we have, this one is 1/80 - although I think that one or two stops up for dof will work better. I might have one or two more days before the flowers poop out - it's storming here tonight, so no luck with the light. I hope to be able to practice some more tomorrow and the next day and shoot them with a stop or two up on aperture and at 1/80 and 1/100 and maybe 1/125. What do you think? I'd welcome any advice! Thanks -K

  Looks like I'm getting to this one a little late but better late than never...Great shot! I wouldn't go any faster on the shutter speed because you will loose the great streaks that add so much to this shot.
