Hi Linda,

What's rain?? hahahaha.... this is beautiful. I like the vignetting a lot. To me, it gives it an "old timey" feel to the photo. Is "bloom" additional brightness? Beautiful soft pastel coloring on the flowers. Nice sharp raindrops too. :) Lisa

Hi Linda. These rain drops are crytal clear and in sharp focus even showing the texture of the petals . I do like the vignetting and the bloom. Nice composition with the subdued colors of the flowers and inter play of the light. Cheers and TFS.

Oh!! This is so pretty!!! First of all I love this color and the raindrops. The lighting is good and also the vignetting. This would be great on a wall (in my bathroom :) TFS

Hi Linda,
Outstanding shot! The water droplets have worked wonders once again, nice soft tones and lighting with this one. It's been raining here all day, wish the sun would come out! Lol. Nice PP work.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Linda

A well deserved cool respite, from the stifling summer heat. Good repetition of the raindrops, with superb use of a shallow dof, & excellent sharpness. Tfs!

This has an element of surrealism about it with the vignetting and the very precise DOF with areas of sharpness and areas just outside that DOF. I have to say that I really like the effect of this - and the colour is great..

Nice shot - close to the flowers!!

Hello Linda,

This is lovely.
It is fresh and clear.
It looks like an advert for skin products where freshness and cleanliness are implied by the context.
Superb, close-up sharpness.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Linda, this shot certainly has a refreshing feel to it.
I love the way that you have got up really close so that even the tiniest drop of rain is visible.
Excellent sharpness.And the vignetting works well too.
Tfs, regards Jean.
