This is wonderful. Gotta love the color tone of the shot. I quite like this wide crop more. You've managed to be very artful with the minimalist approach to the water drops. Very elegant. I like it!

I got rid of the distracting lower left corner, thanks Sharon!

Much better! Well done! :-)

Wow, eega, this crop really makes this pop! I do find my eye drawn to the bright lower left corner and wonder if that was cropped out or if a darker petal was cloned into that space if it would be a bit less distracting. ~Sharon

thank you all.
Nico, you are absolutely right about the tighter crop, here is my new version (I have placed the initial one in the exhibition gallery)

Cool! I think you could have pushed the minimalism even further though by making the crop even tighter. What a stunning flower! Regards Nico

The dew drops really add character and atmosphere to a beautiful image.

Very nicely captured eega ~ Regards Bob
