Looks like a soft petal. Good image. I like how the flower is not in the center of the photo. Very nice.

Interesting color contrast. The color saturation of the bloom could be toned down just a notch.

A great concept but just not quite there. I think it would work better if the flower and water drops were all in focus. Beautiful color.

I love this image. The flower petals are like translusent I love the glowing look, and the soft water droplets. Great image, and i like how the background is just simple and blue.

too much water, pull back on the macro so depth of field includes edges of flower giving the depth and highlighting smooth.warmer lighting and less saturation blue. A good colorful study.

wow, love the bold bright colours, the orange works really well against the blue. If i was to change one thing I would try and get rid of the bright octagonal spot on the left as it is really distracting and ruins an otherwise great shot.
