A study in monochrome beauty, this close-up captures the delicate form of an Iris, its petals adorned with a scattering of raindrops. The water droplets cling to the flower, creating a shimmering texture that contrasts with the soft, velvety surface of the petals. The image is a testament to the quiet elegance found in nature’s details, even after a passing shower.
