Overnight Rains

[AlanLichty]

I love the look of a garden right after an overnight rain with all the water droplets decorating the plants. In this case a patch of Lily of the Valley that is just getting ready to bloom yesterday morning.

C&C always welcome.

Those water droplets really add to the mood of the image. Nice capture Alan.

Thanks Trent - I am a sucker for water droplets like these and will reach for my camera every time I see them

That has spring written all over it and with raindrops no less

Can't go wrong with water drops on foliage.

Thanks Jameel - my sentiments exactly.

As always, I love the way you processed the greens in your nature shots.

Beautiful image Alan. Would like to do the same but it never seems to stop raining here at the moment
I like the DOF with the rear plants slightly out of focus but find the 2 out of focus in the foreground a bit distracting

Thanks Kevin - I can pretty much say the same about the rains. In my case about my only way around my backyard is standing on stepping stones and shooting with a 100-400mm lens to grab scenes like this. It's simply too muddy to wander freely and with standing water in places. This is a handheld shot at 400mm.

Thanks Jim - its my favorite time to go shoot in the garden with droplets everywhere.
