Thanks for the compliments, TP and Jack. The photos with the raindrops were my favorites.

I don't know the ID on any of the lilies posted, ge and doridunn.

It's not the camera, ge, it's knowing how to use it. Many people don't study the manual and don't practice. Just take 20 photos of the same flower with different aperture settings, different lighting, and different times of the day and you'll see which ones you like best.

Reminds me of a friend who complimented a photo I took with a free camera (but she didn't know it). She said that I took good photos because I had two Nikon cameras. I asked her how she'd feel if she cooked a great dinner and I asked her what brand of pots she used.

The camera is just a Fuji E550, 6 years old and I have no intention of replacing it.

While I loved this Babyface phlox for the Bonbini we just didn't get much color on the Bonbini this year so the photo is not what I wanted.
