Taken in the desert at the Ramon Crater in Israel in March 2019. Israel had so much rain that flowers were blooming in the desert. I took a lot of photos of the wildflowers, but this pink flower with a few raindrops on it got my attention. I don’t know what flower this is so can’t give you specifics on it. Emotionally, to me it feels like this flower is rising above the others and telling them to wake up.

Roberta, the mix of colors throughout this picture is great. There is a nice bit of eye movement along the lower left-upper right diagonal between the buds and the blooms. The water drops are a fine extra bit. Removing that bit of petal edge on the right would be good.
Roberta, this is really well done. Good color and DOF. I would agree with @Mark_Seaver about the petal on the right edge.
Roberta, this is truly a very nice image. I love that you have both the buds and the blooms, which my eyes can feast upon. I agree with Mark about that one little piece of another bloom on the right side. Great shot.
@Shirley_Freeman @Harley_Goldman @Mark_Seaver - Thank you for your very kind, thoughtful and helpful comments. I will definitely remove the petal edge on the right, and I appreciate you mentioning it.
This is lovely, Roberta. I really like the composition and the layering of the foliage in the image. The open bloom is placed very well. A beautiful image.
