    oooh very lovely…This image reminds me of passion and soul rendering love and feelings…was that looking into it too much? I guess it is the dark background and the rich colors of the rose highlighted by the magnificent water drops..I love it!!!

    We are all our own hardest critics..but in this case..you shouldnt be…you should be proud! Very well done!! Excellent light in the central water drop..

    Enough Rambling…

    Fantastic.. the light caught in the droplet is stunning against the dark background and I love the way the form of the rose is lost in the black becoming almost unrecognisable. Great work!

    Oooh! This is awesome, Basia. There’s something magical about light shining through water drops. I also like the balncing act between vertical and horizontal. A really fascinating image.
