My eye goes right to that one drop of water. It's a nice touch. The BG is a bit busy for me,(lots of different colors) but I assume you were in the garden. The slightly off center of the flower is perfect. It really does all come together here. Good work Janine! #635945

Les, thanks very much for your great comments - yes I was in my backyard with daffodils and heuchera (coral bell plants) in the background. #4154781

Beautiful bud. Nice lighting. & I agree with Les about the drop of water - it is a nice touch :) #4154875

Another beautiful bud, Janine! I like the first one with the additional water drop in the front but this one is also beautiful. #4154921

Very nice colors, lighting, and detail...and nicely-composed! I agree, the water drop is very nice touch....and "personally", I like the soft-focus, subtle BG colors. :-) #4155320
