 This was shot during a drizzling afternoon shower. The is virtually straight from the camera. I cropped out a bit on the left side that was extremely out of focus and I felt that it detracted from the rest of the photograph. I wanted to ensure that your eye was drawn directly to the large raindrop on the petal.

Too much out of focus area in the foreground taking up so much space that it takes me ages to find the tiny part that is in focus. If I didn't take the time to actually look, I'd say the entire image was oof. Maybe crop in closer to the water drops for emphasis?
