Nice flowers Joseph. I like the first one especially, for me it has a dreamy aspect to it.

Thank you, Peter. The rose was taken while vacationing in Jamaica after an early morning rain shower. It is one of the rare photographs that came out near perfect. I like what you do with your photographs of flowers. We seem to have a common interest in photographing flowers.

I was bored at lunchtime today, messed around with this 3 image stack in photoshop.

Rainy days make for good photo opportunities now and then. Nice droplets.

This is a lovely image... I can never get enough focus on a water droplet to get a reflection so I'm a bit jealous.:)

Nice series of flower close-ups Bobo. The third and fifth are my favorites.

I like the composition Nicola. And then I noticed that nice shadow on the flower itself, very nice.
The crop could havce been a bit tighter for me, or maybe your standpoint. You have these white borders on the bottom right and slightly bigger in the middle on top. You could probably clone these areas a bit as well.

This one grew like this. I was a bit fed up with photographing verbena after this summer (I've seen a lot of it:D), but this looked like fun. The sunflower are difficult subjects, because they are so big, but here it worked for me.

Thanks Peter.
