I like to walk in my garden very early in the morning. I spotted this rose, so perfect in the early light. I dashed in and grabbed my Canon EOS Rebel T1i (EF 55-250 lens) and adjusted it to an setting (ISO 400 f 5.6 @1/80) that let the lovely early light from the rising sun reflect softly on the rose. The lone drop of water was hiding under the petal and from my naked eye.
