Rainy

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 9 October 2007 in Plants & Nature.

I took this shot on Sunday afternoon, I placed the camera in the Macro mode but I had to zoom in from a distance to avoid getting my camera wet, and to my surprise it actually worked! The only problem is that the flash made the flower overexposed, so you I used a little Photoshop magic to tone it down a bit. It has been raining since Sunday afternoon and it was soo hard to get up out of bed for work this morning, the bed was so comfy with the pitter patter of the rain.

I love this capture Stunner - those raindrops are awesome!!!! I know what you mean about the rain...it's rained here pretty much everyday for the past week and it's been awesome!!! I LOVE the rain, but it definitely makes you want to curl up in your bed with a good book! :)

Your photos are on a whole other level. I luv pics of flowers -- every flower pic is a "nice" pic to me, but this is ... superb, refreshing, thirst-quenching, magnificent -- I don't even know what to call it. My husband really likes this too.

That is sooo true - hearing the rain while in bed is so soothing... I'm liking your closeup so we can see that this poor flower looks as if it was a bit crushed by the rain.

On first look I thought it was melting snow, but in Jamaica that is not possible....
Great with the drops of water!

This is so good I'm using it as my wallpaper.....absolutely stunning....but what else would one expect from a stunner....Cudos for actually being able to lift a finger over these past few rainy days.
