PURPLE RAIN

Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, Canon 50mm 1.8 II lens, ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/2000 sec.
  A quick evening storm blew through tonight and with the sun jumping out right after, I used the opportunity to grab the fast 50 and get some macro shots of the water-dabbed flowers in my front yard.
  This particular shot really shows the speed of the 50mm lens. The wind was blowing the rest of these purple flowers around but with the focus dot squarely on the one, the shutter caught it absolutely crisp.

    Very nice! I've been out in the gardens lately but haven't come up with anything nearly this good.

    REALLY love this image, Jerry, how beautiful! Those drops of water on the petals are the cherry on top of the cake, my friend! Awesome.

    Really well framed and focused, and the color is gorgeous.
