This was taken after a brief shower and the lighting was good. The water droplets have a tendency to form at the center of the giant leaves forming small pools. They are amazing plants even after the glorious blossoms give way to majestic pods.
Another project perhaps:)

One of the most impressive images in this challenge not only for its lovely colors but the delicate tonal beauty. Congratulations on your top 10 finish.
This is very nice. The upright petal distracts me from the rest of the beautiful bloom, but I really like the color tones as well as the detail in the leaf on the right. Very cool!
The flower is very nicely shot and the droplets are pretty, but I feel that the colours, especially the very deep, bright green, are too dark and saturated to be classed as pastel.
with all the dark green in the picture, I was going to vote this as dnmc, but the flower itself dominates the picture and makes the background less important. So I ended up giving this a high score. It's very pretty.
