[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday was a funny sort of day. Weather-wise.

I had admired the flowers in my parents' garden in the afternoon and then there was a very heavy rainstorm. After the rain, it was still rather dark but I spied these flowers making a valiant recovery from the battering they had received.

I hope you like this one - converted from RAW and sharpened a little. Any advice would be welcome.

Hello John,
I'm glad you gave us the information in your notes because this photograph epitomises what you have been describing. This beautiful little flower is bedraggled, and rain-swept! In fact, you could almost say the raindrops look like tears. But you have captured it just as it is! Lovely composition, colours and dof.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi John
The vivid colours you have captured contrast well with the miserable weather we have had.
Love the droplets, and dof.
Regards
Philippa

Superb capture, John! I love the colours and details in this. The off-centre comp works very well.
I do have a question for you. I shot these same flowers in the U.K. earlier this month but have no idea what they are called. Can you enlighten me please???
