Hola Carlos!
Una toma muy bonita. Me gustan mucho los colores de la flor, la composicion por el plazamiento de la gota y claridad de la imagen en ella, que se puede ver gracias al buen enfoque. Saludos,
Mark

Una bonita imagen Carlos con el insteresante efecto de la gota y la reflexión que se produce sobre la misma.
El colorido de esta flor es maravilloso y el foco levemente soft, produce un efecto agradable sobre la misma.
Saludos... Ricardo
