This was what I'd started out to try to shoot, but didn't find it to be as interesting as I'd hoped. That led to the processing activity in the collage in my main album ( http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-04-08).

I prefer this to the collage. The lighting is great and it's simple, yet elegant.

Lovely image! I enjoy the curve and detail of the petal.

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

This is Gorgeous! Beautiful curve, light and drops, so soft and dreamy! What should we do tomorrow? :)

@mej2011 That's useful insight, Melissa. I was looking at http://365project.org/colie/random/2013-04-08 by @colie and liked it so much I didn't think any of my 'singles' were that interesting. So thank you!

@pflaume @colie Thanks Lisa and Colie. Colie -- you're so funny! We've certainly been in sync for the past two days!

I think I like this one better than the 4 in one version. I think its how delicate it looks.

[Taffy]

@dtigani Thanks David. Seeing it out of aperture and all the other shots, so it is on its own, and I'm growing fonder of it.

[jayn]

well i do think its interesting. love the curve and the drops in the sunlight. beautiful

[Breigh]

I also prefer this to the collage, I think it's lovely!

[Kazzy]

I think the two shots are great and can't really be compared to choose a favourite. I just like how you have gotten this technically and visually right :)

[Taffy]

@jaynspain Thanks so much Jayn!
@breigh Thanks Breigh. It's been interesting to see the reactions each has elicited.
@kazlamont Thanks Kazzy. You've made a good point -- it is comparing apples and oranges as the photos attempt to do such different things. I realize how mired I can get in the detail of a shot on a single day and not step back to think about the bigger picture of what they are about/doing.

Love this, I get addicted to photographing water on plants ;)

[Taffy]

@dreamatrix Me too -- it adds an extra interest as well as the extra challenge! And thanks for the fav!!

[Ness Santvoort]

I like it, lovely water drops, I've experimented with changing colour on some shots like this,

[Daniel]

I like this a lot. The lighting on the water drops is fantastic.

[Gerry]

a very stunning photo and a Fav

@ness50 Thanks Vanessa -- color processing does change the feeling a lot.
@danielwsc Thanks Daniel! I agree it would not be as interesting without the drops.
@gerry Gerry, thanks for the fav!
