Hello Bryan,
This looks like a hollyhock...The waterdrops add a great visual impact, the darker b/g showcases the flower's design and provides great contrast. Regards...

Olá Bryan,
Warm purple, good POV, nice droplets and a very good lighting. Pitty, a lack of sharpness into whit center.
Brst regards,
Raimundo

Hi Bryan,
Nice shot! Looks so fresh! The flower name is Hibiscus. For the details about Hibiscus, you can see on my note. Coincidently, I have two shots for Hibiscus :) We call it 'Kembang Sepatu' in our language, Bahasa Indonesia :)
Please look at "Kembang Sepatu #1 and #2".
Thanks & Regards, Imelda

Hello Bryan

I like the softness of this image, yet still with good focus & sharpness, on the purple, fg flower. The repetition of the water droplets is marvellous. Tfs, & have a great week!

Hi Bryan,

Really nice shot. The water droplets give the shot a clear, crisp and fresh look. Good sharpness with nice background bokeh.

Best regards,
Werner

Hello Bryan,

This is very nice shot. I like the waterdrops on flower. The dark background is excellent.

Buena imagen ,excelente color y detalle de las gotas de agua
Buen trabajo
un saludo

Bryan, great shot of this pretty flower. You captured it at just the right moment with the rain drops enhancing it to make a more dramatic image. Your camera focus is right on. Maybe another shot with the focus on the pistil with a very high f/stop of say about f/16 or f/22 would have given you a sharper overall focus. Otherwise, wonderful shot. If you have time always shoot several frames at different f/stops and shutter speeds.
