Photographers Comments
found that there is a yellow rose bush out back that was lost in the weeds..what a nice surprise. These bushes grow very well here and dont need any babying. For a semi-arid country, we sure are getting lots of spring rain.

Hi Fay I like your Rose bud and the little water droplets but it’s out of focus do you have a tripod I always find it difficult to keep a steady hand when shooting close up may be it’s my age.

Might be my monitor but the rose looks blurry and the waterdrop bottom right is in focus. Learnt any close ups have to be on tripod it increases the quality straight away and keep the subject still somehow!

I thought the whole point was to have the water drop in focus...

That's what the title implies?
