For comparison, here is the consesnsus favorite from the first batch. I like drops, so this is a good choice.

#1 Rainy Day (new title - better?)

And now for some additional candidates. Are any of these better than the first?

#2 Sunset - Torrbrae has some really nice sunsets, so I may forego this one.

#7 Duvall (My favorite subject from a different perspective)

    I like 1, 2 and 7. Still thinking about #3. The first one is a fresh approach with drops on the "underside" of the leaf and I am drawn to the green color and the quality of the droplets. The second has some brilliant color in the sky but almost strikes me as too fiery. Really like #7. I would probably suggest entering 1 or 7 but hope others will offer input as well to help you make a good choice.

    While like all, favourites are 3, 1 and 7 in that order. Like 3 for the close up of the Foxgloves in front, and the out of focus full Foxgloves behind. Clarity of the droplets great in #1.

    I like #3 and #7 best, but #7 is more appealing to me because of the composition and feelings of happiness :)

    For me, it's all about the foxgloves....the colors are great fun and so are the competing DOF's.....the texture on the close blossom is marvelously sharp.....

    I've apparently got the same taste as torrbrae - 3,1,and 7.
    All your shots are very nice though.

    I really like the foxglove (3) for the great focus & dof. Also like #7 for the perspective & comp.

    Thanks for all of the great feedback! It was a tough decision and I might make it differently today. :D
