Water Drops #2
Here is another on of my attempts from yesterday morning. I like this image but still looking for that perfect water drop. Comments welcome and thanks for looking!

10D - ISO100 1/45s @ F/5.6,75-300 lens, 25mm extension tube, tripod

Nice photo. Raindrops may start to be hard to find if we have our usual dry summer.
:cool:

Thanks Larry. Your right won't be much longer before Summer really sets in and I will not be able to find shots like this.

David - I really like the gentle curve of the leaf, and how the big drop magnifies the surface. I do wish the tattered one below weren't so prominent. Nice!

Nice eye David. I too like the gentle sweep of the blade of grass and the water droplets are very nice. I agree with Bill about the brown blade of grass but good eye to see this intimate scene. :wavey:

Bill, Wayne
I agree with you concerning the the second leaf, didn't see it until the photo was on the monitor. I wonder if I selected the leaf and masked it out? Not a technique I have tried yet, but may work in this case. Another tip I learned carry a pair of scissors for a little grooming, could save sometime in the post process. :smile: Thanks for the comments!
