Absolutely love the 2nd photo. I downloaded it, then enlarged it causing a zoom in. Every single detail of the flower is so perfectly focused on. This is one of those incredible photos that rightfully shows your intense effort and your excellent work with photography. You should have the 2nd one enlarged to say an 18x24, have it laminated to deepen and intensify the colors, framed and maybe entered in a contest - or....placed somewhere where other people can see it as a conversation piece. Perhaps make you some pocket change. That 2nd photo is so superb!!!

Agreed - but the appearance of the drops bothers me - are you spraying for effect? However you got it, it's fabulous.

Thank you everyone for your kind remarks. Its motivating to say the least. #2... I sat down in front of this plant and took lots of pictures, trying many different manual settings. This one was one of my favorites. Used Nikon D3100, lens was an old Sigma 28-80mm, focal length was 80mm, iso 100, 1/80 sec @ f22.
#3 shot with my Nikon D3100 a 55-300 zoom Nikkor lens. Focal length was 110, ISO was 250 at 1/125 of a sec @ 5.6.

All three are well taken. I can't find a thing wrong with any of them; however, while the others seem to find the second image to be their favorite. . .my eye is in love with your third image.
