Some Wet Flowers

**Iguanasan** · 04-19-2010, 11:19 PM

Captured a couple shots of wet flowers today but I don't think they turned out very well. I was on my way to work and couldn't convince myself to lie in the mud for the shot

Aw, gee, why not? I'm starting to bring portions of the Greenbelt back from lunch, because I sit down on the path or just off it. Why should I have all the fun to myself?

The second one does work well. For the third, try a largish crop around the leaves that are in focus. I find that sometimes helps. For the first one, sorry, my eye keeps wandering.

I'm with Kat ... the 2nd shot for me too.

Thanks all! Yeah, freshly made flower beds in the rain with my dress pants on suck! :(

I quite like how you caught the light on the water drops in shot 2 Iggy...very nicely spotted!

I get a real sense of spring time in all of these images with the rain drops.

Thanks, casil. I actually walked around and tried a few angles before taking the shot. I took this angle specifically because of the reflective lighting. Glad it was noticed
