This is such a great shot. I love the drops of water on the wire. And the bird is wonderful! Nice work.

What an amazingly well executed image and capture. I just love the detail on the bird, as well as the definite raindrops. Hope it clears up for you soon!

Oh, but those drops look absolutely lovely on the petals. Wonderful composition and great processing - I like the high contrast.

Love the bold and vibrant colors of those oranges in contrast to the cool sky blue of the sky. While the colors are bold and vibrant I think they could be a bit deeper and richer in hue - mayhap adding a bit of Contrast Adjustment would make those hues richer in color. You have some nice details in the texture of the flower. It looks like you might have had a challenge with the wind as that the bottom petal is folded over and looks soft in spots - like it was blown by the wind. It may seem small but since this is a macro all the fine elements of a small object begin to play a larger role/visual impact within the composition. That downturned petal detracts away from the flower because most of the petals are flowing in the opposite direction. The downturned petal is not the normal flow of the petals so it seems that it is against the grain. I would have liked all portions of the flower to be in sharper focus. Perhaps waiting for a lull in the wind so that it did not curl that bottom petal down and blur that portion would have made for a stronger composition.
