Hello Howard, a fine shot of the blackthorn flower. V. good crisp detail w/ good dof and nice contrasting dark bg w/ the light textures of the petals. Good sharp definition in the water droplets. Overall a very nice quality photo. tfs Rgds Necip

Wonderful shot of this lesser known Prunus species Howard. I'm not familiar with it myself although I have heard of Sloe gin. I've had Damson gin a few times and I guess it is something similar.
A nice clear image,with good exposure on the whites.
Good work.

The tiny water drops make it a keeper..something always works, except some sports, with water and images...well I take back the sports part too..sometimes even it makes sports...like the snowed out opening day in Cleveland for the Indians...couple years ago..Nice image Howard...TFS etc; Etal;

Hello Howard,
The water droplets add to an already fine image. The details, depth of field and exposure are great in this nice composition. Thanks Howard for sharing this excellent posting.

Hello Howard

I really like the droplets of water on the petals.
I can't wait for Spring to get here,the blossoms in May can be so beautiful.
This is well seen,with an excellent POV,your flower images are very beautiful.
Lovely contrast between the flower and dark BG.

An excellent image. Brighteness, contrast and tonal range are very good in this picture.

I see a lot of macro floral images in your submissions. Many of my own similar pictures taken in Arizona and the Pacific Northwest of the USA can be found starting from here:
