Can you find me?

I took this one today after a hard rain. The phlox was covered in rain drops and they caught my eye walking into my house. I took a bloom from one of my other phlox plants and placed it.

The funny thing is I ended up in the picture, also. This is kind of like finding Waldo. Can you find me?

Ha! I see you! Beautiful image John...got a real soft "after the rain" feel to it. I would clone out the one or two small hot spots where the water drops blurred/interacted with the flash. I know Phlox photograph "soft" and the greenery has the right amount of sharpening but I find myself wanting just a bit more sharpness to the center of the Phlox as well. Just a small boost...

John, I think this image is very interesting, I find myself really drawn to the foliage with the water drops- Agree with Julies suggestions.
