wow! awesome shot that almost takes on the aspect of an abstract painting with that wonderful backround. i love the way that the out of focus backround becomes almost surreal in the way that it showcases the yellow flowers. super shot

in the words of a world famous philospher:
"I yam what i yam and that's all what i yam!"

Thank you VERY MUCH for the kind words and rating

Keep your fingers crossed for me. I entered this in a contest. Let's hope the judges feel the same way you do

Thanks again!

Wish I would have made the semis but, can't complain for my first contest ever, especially one of that caliber.

Here's what another judge had to say:

It is a pleasant photo, but the theme development is pretty subtle. You mention water drops in the title and via selective focus, yet rain drops are transparent, not really translucent in nature.
