What’s Your Preference?

It's raining again today. I didn't let that stop me from going outside (with a plastic bag over my camera) and attempting at getting some photos in the garden and around the yard. Here are a couple - not the best, but I'm only working with the macro adjustment on the camera. The colour on the first one is not the best. Also, is the blurriness of the background in the first photo considered bokeh (spelling)?

I know the first shot isn't all that good...but what do you think about the second one?

I think they are both great, the droplets are fantastic. Thanks for sharing

Thanks! I was hoping to get a little closer to the rain drops in the first photo, but I don't have an actual macro lens - just the setting on the camera.

Nice work...the color on the first flower is amazing...and I like the second shot too.

Thanks. The colour in the first one was adjusted a bit (I think I adjusted the back lighting). The actual flower is a little darker, but still pretty.
