![After the Rain](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/5/e/5e599b9eeb7ec7452a7cf987914f021173352bb4.jpeg) We had a nice rain here in Albuquerque a few nights ago. I went out in the back yard the next morning to find lovely water drops on many of the leaves and plants. This one on a rose bush. ### Specific Feedback Requested Any ### Technical Details 30 image focus stack Olympus EM1-III, 60mm f/2.8 Macro 1/25, f/3.5, ISO 200 ---

Keith, I’m not sure how I missed this fine image. Maybe with the site upgrades. Anyway, what is not to like about this shot. Wonderful details in the water drops on the leaves, and that curved/twisted stem of the leaves draws the eyes up into the subject. You have a nice smooth BG to make the subject pop. Well done. ---

Keith, a great image!. the freshness after the rain shows. great background and stacking done very well. I like the contrast between dark brown stem and the green leaves. Water drops are a plus.
