Oh, I didn´t know it was necessary to spray the birds when it´s hot. Yes, trading homes for a week would be nice, so you guys could cool off, and me and my family could get some warmth! It truly is right about the saying: The grass always looks greener on the other side of the hedge, as we say in Denmark. I´m glad you didn´t misunderstood my comment!:-) Have a nice Sunday which is soon ending here in Scandinavia

Thank you. Yes, have been busy and actually the hose was the water bottle for spraying the birds when it is hot. Sorry you are having rainy days...I am roasting with the temp. so hot. Today is 90 degrees and lately has been 75. Can we trade houses for a week?

Annemette I took the first comment in the light that you meant, of course D did not, but what can I say, you have talked to him long enough, there is no way out now. Marlyce

Dear Marlyce I had to write back and correct my comment as I came to think that it can be misunderstood in English! I meant "the" hose which Doyle was using when taking the great shot of water that you suggested. The comment came out wrong - I wasn´t telling dirty jokes-sorry sorry!!:-)) Best wishes, Annemette

Dear Marlyce I can see that you´re busy using your new Nikon! A beautiful rosephoto with all these small droplets that almost create a pattern that suggests that they should always be there on the rose - not only on a rainy day - or when Doyle´s hose is approaching! Best wishes to you on a rainy day, Annemette

Vincent, Thank you very much for the suggestions. My only comment, although helpful for future, is I am not sure the tripod would have help as it was windy outside at the time. All your other suggestions are very much taken to heart. Hopefully you can offer me more in the future. Thank you. Marlyce

This is a beautiful rose, and of course, the droplets only add more "power to the flower"!
I would like to suggest trying either a longer lens, possibly an 80-200 zoom, or 105 macro for this kind of photograph. It may be posssible that you were just a bit too close for this kind of closeup for this type of mid-range lens, since none of the image looks to me, to be in clear, sharp focus. Another very vital tool for images like this from my eexperience are a tripod and if possible, a cable release. All closeups will really accentuate any kind of movement or camera shake, which also may have contributed to a less than optimal clarity here. Still, I think this is a very nice shot even as is. Some people actually like a little blur. But for me, and for most experienced shooters, a really sharp focus point would make something like this really, really special.
