Maybe a tripod with a long shutter speed would let you use a torch(flashlight) to paint the light more evenly and would have fixed both the harsh lighting form the flash and helped you pick up the drops more clearly. The composition would be improved also by not having the branch so central in the shot. And finally, the desat to b&w isn't so effective here, and would be better in colour with a splash of green from the leaves.
A FANTASTIC picture. I really love everything about it (great focus and lighting) Kind of more focused on the leaves on the branch rather than the branch itself.
One of the best 'tree branch' entries. I love the negitive space in this compisition. Take the original and crop it using panaramic dimenisons to see what it looks like. Anyway, strong 9 and tonnes of luck. IJM
Beautiful image. The leaves seem to have a lot of glaring light on them, but I like the effect. I wonder if I would like the image even more if you had cropped out the tree trunk all together and just left the branch suspended in the darkness. Very nice choice of image.
