The photography bug bit me yet again during the weekend and off I went searching for a few places amidst the monsoon in Mumbai with my gear along. I ended up at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and couldn't believe the beauty of this place in the rains. Rains or not, the beauty of nature lures my gear out of the dry box.

This is the bud of the Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis, shot this at SGNP Mumbai while sunlight & rain were playing hide & seek. A few more floral images of my monsoon sojourns to follow soon.

Nice colour. The rain drops look good. There are some highlights on the top, you can try to recover those. The composition looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Sure, I will try to recover the highlights on top.

Thanks for your comments Mrudul Ji.

Agree with Mrudul, I also feel you need a higher colour temperature. Posting without the border will help us critique the image better.
