Chuck and Rick,

The exposure was dictated by the white flower, which automatically darkened the dark green foliage. I used curves adjustments to further the contrast between the two. And, finally, I used Color Efex Pro to create a vignette around the outside. I don't keep track of my adjustment amounts, just keep working until I like the end result.

Thanks, Joel.  The dark foliage helped, I just emphasized it.

We had a brief, sudden storm last evening. The flowers remain wet this
morning.  Here is a Rhododendron cluster, with rain drops.

Comments and critiques welcomed.

Jim,

I like the contrast of that against the dark and shadowy background.
