I purposly used a shallow DOF because the background up in the woods is far too cluttered. Also, I think that yes, the drop is not in a very good place within the composition.
I think this is a great photo, but I would like it even more if the subject of the single rain drop was a larger part of the overall image... nice work :) - setzler
The drop in the foreground is very nicely in focus. The round white spots in the backgorund though distract in my opinioin. They are too close to the shape of the drop, and some of them are quite near to the drop. Otherwise, definately looks to be untouched by man. The lighting on the subject its self is very nice, and the angle and framing/cropping are also good. Good luck in the challenge.
Overall I like this a lot. I think if I had to come up with a criticism, it would be that it may have been stronger had the branch been a little more "dramatic" with maybe a little bigger drop of dew, or something to make it stand out a bit more. As it is, it seems like "just another branch" that happens to be in focus. Still a nice shot :)
Nice clarity in the foreground. I would have centered the foreground more or increased the depth of field a bit to get the focus on the twig in the center as well..
