What a wonderful entry for spring.. I love the sharp, perfect detailed drops... the old leaf in the BG really makes the nice spring colors stand out even more!

You really now how to make a picture Silke.

Of course the details are good and the light is just right, but then you add that you were sitting on wet wood, and that really makes the picture complete. Now I not only see this flower, but I also can picture you sitting there taking this photo.

Lovely.

But spring is on the way, snow is gone and nature gets greener by the day...

This is a perfect capture of the «white» and the «water drop»; it's amazing the detail.
The composition is also perfect with all those difuse lines of green working as a natural frame to the nest of colour.
Excelent. My congrats and regards, jmb
