Beautiful yellow rose Sandy. I love the water droplets on both the flower and the leaves. Nice job keeping the yellows intact.

I like this, Sandy. Nice work on the depth of field with all the foreground leaves nice and sharp and the water drops particularly sharp.

Nicely composed. Good definition in the petals and leaves and the water drops add a lot.
Have you been up to Shore Acres?

Hi - yes I have, and king tides there next week.
Are you close?

Not close, unfortunately. I live in the Willamette Valley.

I love it Sandy. The background really adds here. I like how it has a sweep of sharp to OOF in the distance, and the subtle shades of green complement the flower. My only wish is that the flower sharpness extended to all the petals.
