 I wanted to bring across the "scent" of early morning by using a picture with just the dew, but it was a bit too much of a stretch for some people probably, so I settled for a combo of a flower and dew.

I like how it is focused just on the flower and the leaves while everything else blurs. It's something I've been trying to work on with my camera and figuring out how to do it since it's totally automatic. Also with the way it's open with the sun directly shining onto/into it is awesome, I was lucky to find it, there were only two blooming.

What I don't like is the black box in the background...but I can't do anything about it now. -_-

Yes, the water is actual dew. Yes, I shouldn't have cropped so tightly and offset it one way or the other. And yes, the DOF, well could everyone please decide? I liked it, apparently many didn't. It's the best I could do with a fully automatic camera. I have to force it into macro mode to get any DOF, so, there you go.

Thank you to whoever gave me the 7s, 8s, 9s, and 10!!

i think the image could have been a better one if the flower is moved more the the left or right, instead of being so centralise. it will be more dynamic if the folwer is offsetted. the few drops of water are added on arent they?? didnt look too natural =)

Good focus given sideways angle, vibrant color. Nice shot.

A little flat & uninteresting. Focus is good.

Position, DOF and over use of the spray gun have impacted adversely on this image
