On our travels last summer we camped at Boya Provincial Park in BC. Early in the morning we took a hike and all of these plants had water drops in the center. I couldn't resist taking an image or two or three or.... Here is one of them.

Canon 30D
Sigma 17-70
Aperture Priority
Shutter 1/60
Aperture 8
ISO 400

Richard, Next time you encounter something like this, I would encourage you to take a focused stack of images. It would be so awesome.

Richard:
Nice find and capture. The placement of the drop is good and the leaves radiates to the drop. A minor nit is the slightly OOF leaf along the mid right border. I would also consider croping slightly along the left to remove the circular OOF image on the leaf.

Hey Richard, nice sharpness on the dew drop.

This is a lupine plant. They always catch the raindrops in the center and dewdrops around the edges which makes them impossible to resist if I have a camera in hand. It is sort of like trying to capture the jewels on a spider web... all are different and interesting. You've done an admirable job with the water droplet, but do wish there was a bit more dof on the foreground leaves. :wavey:
