Shot on manual setting. Set up was tripod, self timer, and a watering can sprinkling water on the tulips. In pp first cropped then created a background copy. Went to layers, hue/sat, and first did yellow, sat -100%. Next went to green, then blue, then red with setting at -100%. Decided that I wanted a bit more color so erased at 75% around parts of the tulip, which allowed a bit more color to come through without losing the desat idea. Flattened image and adjusted levels, shadows and highlights, and brightness and contrast. Dodged and burned parts of the tulip to bring out more shadow details as well as to bring out the drops of water more. Resized and sharpened at 34%, radius at .4. Also spot sharpened some of the veins in the tulip as well as the water at the base of each tulip.

Hi June. On your profile page this one caught my eye because the rain seems curved. I didn't see the desat right away. I like this for the relationships between the water, the tulips, & the light.
