First Flowers Finally!

City employees (who work really hard) filled barrels with flowers buds today preparing for the coming season, in the sleet and snow. But these grew on their own, no selection committee involved. There's Fall and Winter and Spring in this pic. Finally got Picassa to except "raw" shot where picmonkey won't. No editing,no cropping no nothin'. This is what I seen and I am pleased :) Best seen large for the water droplets and texture of memorial behind but maybe that's just me

Well done on the raw! Nice image; the detail is great and water drops are lovely. You should always add contrast and sharpening to a raw image, because they are quite flat and soft, and not really what the human eye sees.
