Ahhh Spring! How beautiful! I especially like the top one! So fresh with such intensive colors! I bet this is a pansy!

The first one is brilliant! the symetricalness, and the veins in the petals all pointing to the star shape in the middle, with a decoration of water... :D

Despite water droplets on flowers being somewhat overdone recently in many blogs I think this is a good example of how it should be done. The top one looks entirely natural and the complementary colours are beautiful. Excellent.

I love the second one, the single drop is perfect - and the background ties it together very well.
