Rain Drops
my best macro rain drops, yet, I think? What say you(s) all?

I was hoping to express Spring in the PNW in a minimalist, but imaginative way. So raindrops and daffodils seemed like a good place to start.

Catherine, this is very nice. I love the DOF you acheived as it gives a sense of the flowers but does a good job of isolating the rain drops.

I like this Catherine and agree with Wade on your DOF choice. Very nice raindrops with good detail. I believe that around the world foul weather would have most photographers staying inside and using the day to process images, but here in the great Pacific Northwest we view rain as just another photo op day. Presenting new challenges, the "Hydrophotographer" must learn how to record images by using gear in high-humidity, low light and breezy conditions while balancing an umbrella and box of lens wipes in one hand and a cable release in the other. :biggrin:
Very well done and thanks for posting this! :jump:

True art! I love this one. Great composition to emphasize the drops with the "empty" above.

Ditto what's been said above. I like also that there are 3 drops (not just one) and that the center drop is the most in focus.
