On an early morning walk through the meadow behind my house I caught the dew drops on this daisy. Taken with SONY a57

Hi Stephanie. Welcome to NPN and to the macro and close up gallery. Dazzling first post. :cool: I like the sparkling dew and the off center comp. A fine floral image that works for me. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your images. :wavey:

Well done on this image Stephanie,
I not sure who is steeling the show here, the Daisy or the dew droplets and the wonderful side lighting. The combination of these ingredients really makes this composition stand out. :cool:

Nice image, Stephanie! Great light, especially on the drops on the left side. For composition I would have liked the yellow heart a bit more to the right and have the petals on the left fully in the frame. :wavey:

Welcome to NPN, Stephanie! You've got a fine image here with the sparkling dew drops balanced nicely against the flower's center. Your exposure is also perfect. As a self proclaimed depth-of-field nut, I do wonder if you could have gotten edge-to-edge sharpness with a smaller aperture.
