    We had some nasty weather in Stockholm,Sweden today.Heavy rain,thunder and a small tornado(!)
    passed my neighbourhood.But when the sun showed itself after the mayhem,I couln't resist
    all the watercovered plants.

    Hi Thomas, I like your composition and the water droplets really make this image. My preference would be that it might be bit brighter, I felt that the flower would look fresher. I also added a little canvas at the top. Hopefully I didn't make it too bright. - John

    Thanks for your suggestion.The bright version works very well also,but in real life the Peony
    have the colors ans brightness of the original version.The whites isn't really white,but more of
    a creamy white.Even if your version is good,I prefer most of the time the natural colors.

    I like both versions very much but understand what Thomas is saying...sometimes white isn't WHITE! They both are lovely and I would think even something between the two - keeping the ivory tones of the original but maybe bringing them up just a tiny bit more to really show off those water drops might be something to persue. Still, the original is gorgeous...you certainly do have a way with wet flowers, Thomas! I didn't think you could top the daisy image but this is right up there with it in so many ways.

    Beautiful colors and BG, I prefer the original, softer and easier to look at.
