Default Say it with a flower!

Hi, here is my attempts to capture the beauty of flowers. It has been taken in my back garden with my Nikkon D40, lens 18-55.
Hope you like it..

Hey, nice to see you back Mrs Potterm, of course I like it, the colours and detail are excellent. Love the water drops too. Great work. Mr Potterm tells me that you are studying for a degree so good luck with that. I am glad that you shared another great photograph.

Jake.

Thanks for the good wishes for my degree.
Just about to do my end of year exam, so very busy, I hope to have a little more time for photography and posting on here after my exam.
