    Recently Dottie and I were heading out to see what birds we could find to photograph. While I was waiting for her to finish in the house I noticed this Daylily. I like the water droplets from our irrigation system that had run early that morning. I set up my camera and made a couple images. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    A very pleasing shot. Water droplets are almost always a nice addition, and the background is good, though some manipulation to smooth it a little might work. A little more contrast (perhaps burn in some shadows?) in the flower might bump it up a bit.

    Hi Joe. I like all the water drops and you have good sharpness over most of the flower. I also like the view into the flower with the blossom facing slightly to our left. Cropping is subjective, but you might consider taking a little off the left. I like Ron's suggestion of upping the contrast a bit as the light looks a little flat. You might also try adding some vibrance or saturation (but not too much) to give the colors a little more pop. I think a few tweaks will take this image up a notch or two!
