These droplets are not dew but from a phenomenon called gutation.This refers to the expelling of excess water

As simple as this may look - this is a tough capture (esp with a 105mm) and done well David! Whenever I tried this, the droplets vibrate and fall due to the warmth of my body or placement of my tripod.

Real nice reflections!

Very interesting image, and well captured! An excellent dipiction of the process.

It's odd that there are hardly any drops on the sukrface above the central vein, compared to below.
