Nice pic. Very good DOF making the background blurred. The upper flowers are perfectly sharp but the ones at the bottom are a little blurred, maybe you could have opened the aperture a little more so that all the petals are sharp.
Or maybe if you had focussed on the petals closer to the camera only the ones behind would have been a little out of focus, instead of the contrary.

I love blue flowers Thong, and these are beautiful. Good capture showing the rain drops. I understand what you mean by opening your eyes now... I think we all feel that now... TFS.
