Hi Bruce .... The rain has been nice, hasn't it. Down here it was a warm rain which gave the air a nice, clean, refreshing smell and washed the dust off the leaves. I went out for a walk around 3:00am, and the early morning smells and reflections of the lights from the trees, shrubbery, and buildings and pavement was just lovely.
I find this photo a bit cliché and somewhat at odds with itself. The leaves and area surrounding the central area of the photo could, I think, benefit from being sharper, if not front and back, than at least front or back. To my eye there's too much information. Getting closer to the drops and eliminating some of the surrounding area may give more strength to the image. Perhaps carrying a small tripod that can fit in your camera bag will allow you to make such shots with greater DOF, or even less DOF where appropriate. That Tamron is supposed to be a pretty good lens, isn't it?
