  Thats really nice, great idea and I love the grey sky in the background,
  sets off the red tulips perfectly.

  Lovely shot, but I actually find the drops distracting. Maybe just because I hate rain? :? Well done

  Hi Peter,

  I too like the photograph.
  I find the colour appealing.
  As has been said the red against the grey works well for me.

  I’m not sure that the raindrops add anything either.
  Again it’s just an opinion.

  Cheers.

  John.

  Beautiful image and very well presented. Lovely detail, sharpness and saturation with a neutral background.
  Like others I agree that the raindrops don’t really add to the image. My brain, which is scrambled most of the time seems to think the raindrops are going upwards :? ……../Mikka

  Thanks for the comments folks,

  I have a copy without the rain drops, so I must process that one as well,
  I think they can detract from it, thanks for the perspective.
