Playing with irises again

To celebrate getting a monitor back on my more powerful computer (the "cozy" one stole the monitor last Saturday), I had to GIMP a bit.

It's a little more challenging to cut around raindrops

G'MIC's 3D drop shadow adds a nice touch to a round of tweaking.

I used Relief light and some layer mode tricks to jazz it up.

Had a little help from IrfanView on this one, turning the raindrops to molten gold.

I think the raindrops on the iris is beautiful!
If drops were not naturally on the flower, and you wanted to place a few, is there a script for making drops, or a method of making them?

Looks great! The only problem is the minor distortion but it's not much.

Thank you jontait2! I downloaded the scripts and drops and will give it a try! All the examples look beautiful.
