Hello Friends
I see this as Careless Beauty. There is no effort here, no trick, no pretence; just a simple natural capture.
I looked that this lone flower for a long time before I captured it. It bloomed, and it may be hail, sunshine or storm! It stood there carelessly in its simplisity of natural beauty.
May you also stand firm in be hail or storm...and enjoy the simple things of life.
With exposure times of Shutterspeed at 1/160s to beat the wind factor, and to take care of the distracting background, the F stop at F/7.1 with 400ISO for low lights.
Thank you so much for visiting and encouraging.
David

Hi David,
Very good photo, almost hyperrealistic with these natural colors, the veins on the petals, the droplets. Excellent focus and DOF! Bravo! Annie

Hi David, wow, superb macro here, so sharp! Love the droplets. Could we pull out the petals and say loves me loves me not until the last one and then we see the answer of each little girls' question.

That's what we used to do :)

Take care, Yan :)

Such a natural flower, and it looks quite beautiful with the water drops and the darker colours on the petal edges and the centre. And I like the frame too. TFS
