Rain Falling on Petals


You know we've been having some pretty nice weather if even I am happy about a gloomy rainy day. Sometimes, it's just the thing. :)

I'm pretty happy with this photo, though the bloom in focus and the droplet are not as crisp as I'd like. The light was very poor due to the storm clouds, and the breeze was making the branch sway. I had to raise my shutter speed and ISO more than I would have liked, and I would have preferred to decrease my aperture a bit. I think it would have been a litte more crisp with a smoother background.

However, I do love how the colors turned out and, ultimately, I really like this shot. I may have to go back out on a sunny day with a mist bottle and play around with the petals and drops a little more. :)
