weeping tulips

Out testing the weather-proofing on the DA*50-135 in the rain! By this time I was absolutely drenched...

Couldn't resist this image of these fading tulips in the graveyard - looking as though they're weeping.

Tech: 123mm, 1/60 (SR), f/4, ISO800.

That pink bordering white in the flowers is absolutely stunning. And the droplets just fantastic, its a cracking shot, really love this. It makes for a wonderful poster

Vibrant colour and I like the contrast between the Tulips, with the water drop-lets adding the final touch - well taken.
How did the lens fair?

Not everything in life is Black & White, If only it were!
Kind Regards,

Thanks all
Rees - both the body and the lens were dripping wet. The only thing that took a while to dry out was the 1.3x eyepiece magnifier I use (it steamed up!). Just got home, rubbed it all with a towel and left it all out to dry thoroughly before putting back in the bag. Brilliant
