Another stellar composition!

I think your new lens has already paid for itself.

This was taken with the Canon 15-85mm.

Thank you!

I especially love the dew drops that are clinging to the bud.

I'm on my tablet right now, so photos are displayed in a size that fits on the screen. When I zoom all the way in on this, I can actually see a reflection in the largest drop (on the right side of the bud) that looks like a house, trees, and a stretch of green lawn. (Either that, or I'm hallucinating, lol. )

I've never been attracted to doing macro photography myself, but I really like to look at it, especially when it's this well done.

You are indeed seeing a reflection of my neighbor to the west's house, trees and lawn in the largest drop on the right side of the bud. I appreciate your taking more than a superficial glance at the photo. There's a world within a world to be seen.
