Hi Mike
This is a very good effort, and the sharpness is fine, except for a bit too much noise in the background.You can download "neat image", it works very good .
You did a fine job on the exposure. The white leafs are not so easy to expose correct.
I would crop this one more in a portrait. Think it would give more perspective to your photo.
Good photo.

Hello Mike,
This is a really delicate beauty and a well accomplished photo. I'd much rather be surrounded by snowdrops than snowflakes, that's for sure!
Thanks for sharing,

Hi Mike, a great sharpness! Well done

Mike,
I certainly like your snowdrops, as ours here tend to arrive by the trillions and wreak havoc ;0) Excellent detail on the water droplets. I love the lighting on this photo as it allows for a capture of the subtle variations of the petals. Well done. Cheers, Todd

Beautiful Macro Mike. Well captured detail and colour.

Hello Mike,
This is really beautiful. I like this composition, great subject, lightning, colors and details. The image is superb but a little noisy. I wonder which ISO speed you used. Thanks,
Claudine

Hola Mike, bello trabajo y original, excelentes detalles y perfecta realización... saludos

Hola Mike.
Tienes que aprender español (je).
Es una sencilla flor pero de gran belleza. El efecto que produce el agua en sus pétalos es fantástico. Muy agradable. Saludos amigo. Juan Luis.

Hi Mike

Beautiful look of this flower, her I think a street lamp, with his high stalk and their petals in flashlight form. Great shot. and the drops are fantastic.
That is a really fresh macro shot.
Congratulations

Beautiful macro! Nice colours and clarity! very good details of water drops!
Excellent done!

Salut Mike,
Je ne suis donc pas le seul à faire dans le perce neige. C'est une fantastique macro bien détaillée. J'aime bien la netteté et le contraste entre les pétales et le reste de la plante.
Bravo et merci,
Seb :)

Hi Mike;
Excellent compo, simple but impressive, very nice colours. POV&DOF and contrast&sharpen are very good.
Very nice photo. I liked it.

Hi Mike,

Very nice picture. Fresh and fruity. ;-) with realistic colors.
I watched the aperture and timing. I think that could take f8 with slower shutterspeed. The flower will wait for you, so you could even take f11. Than the picture would be more sharp, don't you think? (but maybe you don't like allover sharpness and is this exactly what you wanted).

Beautiful shot - great detail in the water droplets, lovely composition and good DOF. Simple but really effective picture.
Thanks for sharing

Superb Macro, Mike.Sharp enough to be natural. I have a question: did you use a tripod or is a handhold pic? Thanks for sharing so nice picture
