Photo by Chris Gaul
I took this photo early in the morning to get a shot of the dew droplets on the petals. It came out so good that I barely had to do anything to it in Photoshop. All I did was add a little saturation at about a 17% flow to make the colors come out a little more. I also cropped it because there was a lot of empty space in the left side of the photo. I think this photo came out great, I wish I would’ve taken more like it when I had the chance.

The colors are really bright, but they flow really good the saturation was a good idea. The water drops are cool too.
Neat photo. Great colors, almost seems a little too saturated, i wish the background was lighter with some out of focus colors that matched the flowers like greens or something instead of black. The water droplets always make flower shots cool. Im a fan
Excellent, excellent coloring in this shot. I'm not completely sure about the composition, I kind of wish the flower was a little further from the dead center. But still a good subject and a good photo.
This is a really good close up. The thing that makes it really cool is that the entire flower is in focus and none of it is shady. I like the water on it too.
I love this picture. I like how the background is dark and the flower is so bright. The raindrops on the flower make the picture look even cooler.
Cool dewdrops. I think the colors are almost too bright and distracting because it makes the flower look fake. Also, the focus is off. Yes, some of the flower is very sharp, but the closer up petals are blurry. I would suggest taking the shot from farther away and then cropping it to make it a close up. Maybe that won’t work, but it never hurts to try new things!

That is so cool! I like how you got the main subject in the center. The black background makes your picture more interesting. That is really professional picture. The flower is good in focus and I like how you zoom in the flower. The dewdrops make the picture more attractive. I like this picture a lot because my name means dewdrops in flower.
this picture is relly good. I like how you can see the drops of water on the flower. The color is also very good. The flower is in really good focus and very sharp! Great job!
Your photo definitely filled the frame, and it also has great focus. The background look like you made it black but then you didn’t. I also like how you are able to see the water drop so clearly. This is a very good capture of a photo keep it up.
I think this is a great shot. The only thing i could suggest is that the composition is some what akward for me, maybe if you moved the flower over so it isn't in the dead center. You did a really good job on focusing because you got a lot of detail.

This picture is very crisp. It retains its sharpness, no matter which way I look at it. The folds of the flower look really cool with the water drops on it. Every single drop looks different.
Wow, the picture is great. The different colors along with the very crisp focus on the water drops totally sells this picture.
This photo actually upsets me. This was a waste of a good shot. Instead of using flash, which is very obvious, natural lighting would have been a whole lot better. I mean the overall idea is a good one, but this is a prime example of why you don’t always use the flash because it ruined a good photo.
This is an excellent shot. I love the vivid colors that are displayed on this lovely flower. The water droplets and a serene feeling to the shot, while enhancing the detail of the flowers bulbs.
I really like this picture. It is very crisp and the focus is great! However, i would have done something different with the composition. Maybe move the flower over to either side so that it is not in the dead center. But overall this picture is great.

Wow, what a beautiful shot. Everything in the picture looks amazing. I especially love the water drops and how the flower is in focus.
I really like tis photo. I love the color of the flower, and the droplets make the picture so much more interesting. I like the contrast of the colors in the flower to the background. I do agree with the above comments on the composition. Other than that, i think this is a very nice and crisp photo!

This is a great shot. The flower has opened perfectly and has a beautiful variant of colors It is sharp and in focus, and the dark background really makes the flower stand out. However, the best part is the beads of water all over the flower. They definitely make this picture more interesting. Great shot. shane-SPHS
i agree this shot is great in that the subject matter is perfect. the colors are amazing and grab my attention instantly. however, i feel like this shot lacks originality. the colors and the rain drops are intriguing but the composition is not anything special. the flower is dead center and that definitely takes away from what has the potential to be a fantastic shot.

I think this picture is beautiful.
I think the flower looks a little unnatural. But I think it’s a change from the normal and I like it.
Good job.
I think you purposely took this picture in the morning to get a shot of the dew. I bet it it came out so good that you barely had to photoshop it. I thinking all you did was add a little saturation at about 17% flow to make the colors come out more. I wish you would've taken more like this one when you had the chance. Very good pix though and i love it a lot very much so.
Nice Picture!
The Focus is very crisp and i like how the colors seem to pop. I really like the dew drops on the flower. it makes the subject 10x more interesting. However, i do wish that you would have cropped it a little differently. perhaps to the right or left. Great Picture overall though!
This is a good shot because of the crispness of the shot, while the background is still slightly out of focus. The colors work really well, being very natural and deeply saturated. Although, the subject seems to be fairly common.
