Cistus.........After the Rain

Cistus.........After the Rain
Taken in my garden.

I was in two minds as to whether I should post this image. The focus in the yellow part of the flower is slightly off, but despite this I actually like the overall look and so I decided to go ahead.

Thanks for looking.

The Cistus with its paper-like leaves is always beautiful Keith, but the gorgeous sunny centre and the beautifully captured raindrops make it even more so! The dark background is perfect, highlighting the whiter detail where the petals overlap! I am pleased you decided to post it :-))

I really like the raindrops on the white papery petals. I don't grow this in my garden, but I know it'd very floriferous.

You've made this a very tender, wistful photo. I love your edit - if it was an edit. If not, You're even more brilliant than I thought!

Thanks Diane..............flattery will get you everywhere :-))

It's cropped slightly and I added a vignette to emphasise the white of the petals. Then just the usual sharpening before posting. I shoot in RAW format, so every shot gets edited, some more than others.
