I love the subject and the focus... but I do find the whole image to be a tad on the dark side. It creates a different mood than you normally get with an image like this.
I think that if you can't get the glint of rain on the flowers as the sun shines again, then you must use the overcast day to set your mood...which you have done well. I find the background interesting...and I should be ignoring it...so perhaps it should be darkened a bit, or put in full focus?
my frieds... thanks a lot for yuors remarks and suggestions...but pay attention to title... so bacground or full focus is not my ultimate purpose... anyway thanks for yuors notes...
