@Helen: It's of the crocus family. Can't remember the real name of it... will look it up when I get home (I'm at work ... ooops, am I supposed to be working??) and let you know what it is then. Thanks Helen.. always. ;-)

Paul van der Meer from Valkenswaard, Netherlands

Cool shot Amy!!!

DaveB from Exeter, United Kingdom

I'm gonna say the opposite of what you said to me today, I'd prefer a deeper DoF on this one, so that both the tiny hairs and the droplets were pin-sharp! As it is, it seems to be a compromise between the two! Still a grat shot though Amy!

13 May 2008 8:01pm

@DaveB: You're right. Serves me right for not taking out my gorilla pod with me so I could do a smaller aperture. Thanks Dave!!

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

That is a terrific shot. I love the fine details. The hairs.

Cheryl from Boerne, United States

wow, this is a strange little flower! what is it?

13 May 2008 11:36pm

@Cheryl: It's called a Pasque-Flower latin name Pulsatilla Vulgaris. When it blooms it looks like a crocus. Thanks Cheryl.

John Maslowski from Dallas, PA, United States

This is such a beautiful shot, Amy. I love the water droplets and the clarity is superb. Excellent job on this one.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

It's a very hairy little plant. Did it ever catch the rain droplets nicely for you. A fantastic capture Amy. Your new camera is smoking hot.
