Lady Marigold Singing During Sunshine Rain.....

Shot few hours ago...extreme heat ....after a torrential rain......

Every single time when I shoot after or during a rain I promise myself to never to use a water sprayer, rain or water drops effects or plugins.....because I find so magical the natural ...the uncontrived....but it's just me.....

Emil,

Agree on the drops. Marigolds are difficult to represent- seems like their velvety texture absorbs, rather than reflects, light- you did an admirable job here.

emil,  the colors here are just superb,  seem to almost jump off the page at you. lovely image!

Emil,

  Wow....beautiful image with stunning sharp colors & wonderful black background.  Take care, Patsy
