You could take this lovely rose to the tea party. I like the tones, light, water drops.

wonderful image, I love the enlarger effect of the drops, revealing even more details.

Re. the tax day: Here in Germany middle class people reach deal with 22% income tax rates and are not too unhappy. What we get for the payment are quite good public services in terms of infrastructure and social security. So no tea-baggers here :)

A beautiful image and just what I needed this morning. I also went to a tea party yesterday and had a great time. It was fine being among folks who would prefer to take care of themselves and tell government to back off.

Simply beautiful macro Laurie. Dropletts and petals are a sure fire combination.
Wish we could have made our Tea Party too. Stuff just got in the way.

Very pretty. We are a bit surprised that you do not get a diffraction problem using f32.
Great sharpness and colour.

Gorgeous photo! I'm a bit surprised by the DOF at f32. I wish I could have gone to a tea party, but I was stuck in a night course. And don't forget Tax Freedom Day.
