We had some rain this morning so I ran out when there was a break. I'm not sure what these flowers are called but they smell wonderful!

I used my flash, shot in RAW, changed the white balance setting to brighten up the white. In Photoshop I used Levels, brightness/contrast, and sharpened. Also did some dodging and burning to bring out some of the detail on the petals, and make the waterdrops pop out more.

This was a nice shot to begin with, and your attention to detail in the processing makes it even better. The water adds a lot to the effectiveness of this image.

That's a very nice shot, the drops are almost perfect.

I love those raindrops looking ike they're falling off the flowers on the right. Great color and clarity and really "feels" like spring.

Very pretty, I can almost smell the after rain. I always like how, after a rain, the flowers look like they have sparkling diamonds on them, nicely captured.

Very very fresh thanks to the clarity and light. Emerald drops on leaf a real bonus. Think it is a mock orange - can't think of the real name, there are several varieties.

You are a magician. This is beautiful. I love the light, and had no idea it was flash. The flowers are so crisp and clean. I can almost smell them.

Awesome! Keeping the flowers pristinely white against the dark background is not easy and you have done it extremely well here.

Lovely clarity and DoF.

I really like the shape of the flowers within the frame, they make a delightful curve.
