Beautiful colour(of course). You are doing really well with your macro shots
January 26th, 2013  
Beautiful droplet capture!
January 26th, 2013  
Great shot!
January 26th, 2013  
Good shot and nicely cropped.

@purplehaze12
I think the macro shots are probably my favourite.

@glenmoor

Thank you - just a quick picmonkey adjust - but no crop!

@corgimom
Thank you for your enthusiasm!
January 26th, 2013  
Superb Hazel, and your favourite colour too! Wonderful shot.
January 26th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze Nicely framed then - it was the 1600x1200 resolution which made me think you had cropped it.
January 26th, 2013  
@glenmoor
I did double check that I hadn't cropped and forgotten (!) before I answered you by checking it against a shot I took in the market today - it's what my camera is currently set on: 1600x1200.

@tishpics

Thank you - much crouching and keeping my balance before breakfast to get this shot in the back garden!

A wonderful capture , a great close up and lovely raindrops all in a great pic.
January 26th, 2013  
What great rain drops :)
January 26th, 2013  
Great shot!
January 27th, 2013  
Magical!
January 27th, 2013  
Nice! Love the raindrops against the purple!
January 27th, 2013  
Nice macro. I'm in the states and my connection is rotton, keeps timing out!
January 27th, 2013  
Fabulous!!!!
January 27th, 2013  
love those drops!!
January 27th, 2013  
@gnilrets How annoying! I would have imagine things quite differently in the states?!
January 27th, 2013  
wonderful macro shot, hazel. i love purple flowers!
January 27th, 2013  
Wow, beautiful :-)

I'm overwhelmed by all your comments. Wonder if anyone can answer a query? I'd like to print this A3 but the camera was not on the correct setting for that size. I did use picmonkey to adjust the shot and wonder how much that could compensate? If not I'll just have to wait for some more rain to take another shot!

Amy
Photoshop is your best best for printing to A4 size :)
January 28th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze I should set your resolution to L (3648x2736 on your Ixus 95) - you could then print up to about A4 depending on the photo.
January 28th, 2013  
@glenmoor
Thanks - an M1 resolution (one down from L) on the A1300 is supposed to be OK for A3 prints - what I really wanted to find out is if this image (taken on 1600x1200) would be good enough for an A3 print given the picmonkey processing, Ray has a friend with an A3 printer willing to print for me.
January 28th, 2013  
I don't know anything about printing - no clue what A3, A4, A1300 is. HOWEVER, you can always mist the flower with water if you want to do another rainy shot. Ha ha! :)
January 28th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze Hi Hazel - It's generally recommended that printing should be carried out at 300 pixels per inch see for example http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/image-quality/
On that basis you shouldn't print much larger than about 6"x4" from a 1600px x 1200px image certainly not as big as A3. J.
January 28th, 2013  
@glenmoor
Thanks, Julian - yes I understand the recommended sizes re printing but I'm just trying to ask if this image would be good enough for printing A3 size in view of the picmonkey processing Ive done on it - but I guess the answer is 'no'!
January 28th, 2013  
truly stunning shot,
January 29th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze I agree; I love macro shots, both taking them and seeing them. This one is spectacular!
January 29th, 2013  
Thank you both - I think this might end up on the wall somewhwere!
