One Drop of Rain

Wicked_Dark

on some Flowering Quince buds -



Once the heavy rain lets up I shall go back out & shoot it with lots more drops, but I kind of like it with just the one.

Beautiful colors on those buds.

Thanks much...they are sort of a peachy orange pink when they bloom. Bees love 'em.

Thanks Brian, I appreciate the compliment.

Here is the same group of buds several hours later after the rain stopped. I'm totally amazed how exactly the composition lines up. I didn't do anything deliberately except leave the camera and tripod in the same aspect when I took it indoors - no I did not leave it out to get soaked.



Deliberately turned the clarity down to soften the look as it complements the scene to my eyes. It also contrasts well to the first image.
