I am basically a morning person and I usually am in the garden early taking pictures. I also love the light just after a summer rain shower, so many of my flower pictures include dew or residual raindrops. Although I have no proof, my results indicate that the auto-focus on all my cameras works better when there is a highly reflective element present (like water) on my subject. I would like to share a few of mine with you and invite you to post yours!

hi Bob. Nice work. Suggestion: try to find other angles to approach the roses other than looking down on them. Just an idea

Don't forget...you can also give them a spritz with a mister to make them more appealing too....

Joyfullee, Elaine H, blueeyes3515...thank you, so much for your kind remarks!

docrob, thanks for your comments...I have many rose photos taken over the years from many angles but those with water accents usually end up in a "down on" pose due to gravity. Would these have been more to your liking?

rpavich, I have not had much success with using spray bottles...I usually overdo it and they don't seem to have the "natural" look.
