This is very cool! The visible curvature of the surface tension and stark shadow really make this photo. I would have been tempted to fool around with a polarizer too.

Thanks for posting!

Mike,

Excellent!!! You sure come up with many good leaf compositions. It takes a good eye to notice these type shots and excellent skills and technique to capture them the way you do. :toast:

I don't normally look at or comment in this forum, but this is too cool to pass up. The centered square crop and surface tension makes it! Very nice image, Mike!
