Petunia in the rain

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.

    I really like the concept and execution of the composition… it just feels like a bit dark/underexposed to me in the centre area. But the detail is lovely.

    beautiful!!!

    A gorgeous macro shot. I like the light and all the droplets. A tiny bit more light in the center part could be nice but this one is a great image either way.

    Thanks a lot for the reminders about the center light. Silly me deleted a layer before merging for JPEG. Corrected!

    I didn't see the previous version but the center is certainly light enough now… even surprisingly captivatingly so (a bit of genetically engineered bioluminescence borrowed from a firefly) this is certainly not meant to be a critique as we (i.e. all photographers) can improve on nature isn't it?

    The droplets of moisture on petals…perfection.

    Excellent processing on this one, that blue colour is really great. And yes the center light looks good now. I think such a lovely plant ofcourse has a soul.

    Ich habe es wirklich genossen mich durch deine Fotos zu Klicken. Habe Dich mal in meinen Feed Reader aufgenommen um kein Foto zu verpassen.

    Like a black hole in the middle of the universe, just one filled with light.

    I just hate flower shots, because everybody does them, and they all look the same, but this one is awesome. I love it!
    And oh, consider yourself bookmarked. You've got some breath taking shots!
