The rhododendron outside our front door was still moist with rain this morning. A combination of Chalk and Charcoal with Posterize lent a subtle emphasis to the color, the raindrops and the stamens. (At least I think they're called stamens--the little trumpet-things coming out of the middle of the flower...)

    Very nice! I like your postprocessing on this one. I miss rhododendrons - too dry here to grow.

    Beautiful shot! Your processing played up the best parts of the shot wonderfully.

    Really beautiful, your processing did draw out lovely detail. (as a plant nerd the stamens are the shorter pollen bearers and the longer parts are the pistils waiting for that pollen- rhododendrons are perfect for plant sex-ed)
