I love it...the background is perfect in my opinion (which doesn't mean much..lol)

Great shot. I love the water drops

Nice composition and color. I think there is an insect on the rose around the 5 o'clock position.

Beautiful bud. Love the way you got the water droplet on there. Good job.

thank you all for your comments! i was very happy to get this photo, i was having a real problem with the lighting. it was so bright out that it kept looking blown out. i finally bumped the shutter speed to about 645 and the iso to 100! worked out pretty well. i was thinking that that comp was not very good, like its too much in the center of the photo.
your comments put me at ease, thanks again!

are you talking the inside of the bud? theres a water drop that kinda has a strange reflection to it that could looks like a mosquito

[Heaterguy]

Could be. Look at the lower leaf about the 6 o'clock position and then go straight up slightly right about an eigth of an inch.
