Nancy, you need to darken this image. I think you have a good composition, but it is hard to tell with the center area washed out. I would really like to see this re-posted with the center area darker. Thanks for sharing.

I like the attempt to capture the diamond like dew, Nancy. The image conveys a good mood. Sparkling dew images are difficult to pull off (I know; I've tried). You need the sun to get the brilliant reflections and sparkles, but you then wind up with a very contrasty image. You might try shooting this in more even (i.e., bright overcast) light, or maybe with the use of a diffuser. Thanks for sharing this one.

Scott and John covered the problems of this difficult exposure well, Nancy. It's the kind of shot we all have trouble with, but keep trying, because this could be a real beauty with the right light.
