Todd,

I like this very much with the exception of the soft end of the vine extending toward the viewer at the bottom of the image. For my tastes it needs a touch more dof or a stack. Even so, I'm impressed with the sharpness of most of the image as well as the perfect bg and light.

Todd, beautiful photo. Love the drooping curve and the light. I bet the dew looks great on a bigger version :cool:

I love the subject, the lines and curves, the colors and background and light, the detail and sharpness.

Todd, I'm with Pat on the one OOF end, but I think I might be tempted to just clone it out. Other than that I think this is a wonderful image, well seen and captured.

The detail is amazing in this! The flow of the fern works for me, as does the complementary background. Really nice. :smile:

May be a simple comp, but it's a stunning picture. The golden BG and droplets are show stoppers.

"Todd, I'm with Pat on the one OOF end, but I think I might be tempted to just clone it out." Bob what an excellent suggestion! That part was bothering me so much I tried to re-shoot it but that never works. Why I didn't think of that I will never know.

The background wash makes this work very well. Nice!
