I like the spotlights formed by the little droplets concentrating the sunlight on to the leaves. I have a shot somewhere on my hard drive that's rather similar to this but not quite as rich and lovely.
You have such a talent in terms of seeing a very "artsy" style of shot! There are a lot of people in here who truly appreciate and love this type of "eye" for shots like this. Keep up your "vision" from behind your lens because DPC's tastes have a certain "flavor" to their preferences thus far, BUT......that's slowly changing now! I see it coming! Please enter this in some of the other sites too! PUHHHLEEEEZZZZE! :)
Bice shot and I love the sharpness and the integrity of the water drops in the illuminated central part of the leaves
Great greens and a wonderful velvety textured feel to the leaf itself. I was just wondering (if it had been possible) what this might have looked like with a square crop just tight around the water drops at the centre (although given your score I guess it did OK as it was!!!)
Lovely! How dynamic. Love the depth of color of the leaf and the light coming through each drop/bead. Even the air bubbles inside each bead. Wonderful capture! Nicely edited.
