Gorgeous colour palette Sam. Nice use of DOF.

And yeah, those drops are indeed killer and the pièce de résistance.

Compositionally ... and without the benefit of having been there ... curious as to what a slight shift in camera position to the left (this perspective, shifting the frame over a tad) ... would have in terms of visual impact.

In other words and in plain English this time ... that one drop draws your attention immediately, placement on the right thirds line might allow for the one flower/bloom that is slightly cut off on the left to be brought into frame in it's entirety. Just some thoughts, no slights intended rest assured.

I do like how you have the front row of flowers mimicked to an extent, by the offset and on an angle, secondary row that is behind them.

Colour saturation is perfect. Not heavy-handed at all. Well done on that note.

"Fresh" would be the operative descriptor in my mind. Very pleasant to take in, this image.

And but of course, thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

This is lovely. The colours caught my eye immediately and on closer inspection was in awe of this capture. Those droplets of water are like mini macros in themselves. Well done, fav'd and thank you for sharing!

The vivid colors are what caught my eye initially. Then I saw those drops and the WOW factor kicked in. I also liked the way the center diagonal separates your picture into two lovely compositions.

I simply cannot resist a pretty pansy. What a unusual pattern and color, I've never seen one like that before. So lovely and springtime fresh!

how quaint. I love it. It reminds me so much of the flower garden my mother and I planted not too long ago. We put it in a little red wagon. Such a great capture. And a great desktop too!
