Morning dew

Thanks for looking

I think the left 2/3 isn't adding much to this, particularly with that blurred stalk top left.
I'd portrait crop the top right to leave the curved leaf, the two drops on the pointed leaf, and remove all the other leaves.

This is a great find. I like the two drops and sense of balance and peacefulness that the image offers. I like the curvature of the leaf to the right as it seems to accentuate the droplets. I don't care much for the entire left side of the image, as it seems not to add much to scene. I would play around with cropping the image differently - perhaps removing most of left side ...

[MadMax]

What a find! Perfect twins. I agree the subject is promoted well, but the left half of the photo doesn't add to it. I would play with the cropping on this, and then you will have a one of a kind copy of nature's work of art. Good job on this!

Thanks for your comments!! ...convinced me to re-edit, here is try 2

[MadMax]

Looks great! I definitely like it cropped. Good job!

[draymorton]

Love the crop. Beautiful.

[ksbryan0]

Nice piece of art, Armando! Well done.

[armando_m]

Thank you guys !

The crop really sells this shot. It now looks more "magical", like two crystal balls that defy gravity.

lovely catch armando. the sharpness of the drops is great. i also like the crop as it emphasizes the drops a bit more. the green foliage is great. in the crop version, i can see a million little droplets that only wish they were that big. good stuff!

[AgingEyes]

The crop is a big improvement, Armando !

Congrats !

[Grandpaw]

This is much more interesting now! In the first version the droplets were kinda lost among the leaves where now they are the main point of interest. Amazing what a simple crop can do to a picture, Jeff :thumbsup:

[armando_m]

Thanks for the comments and the sticky !!

[Photo-John]

Excellent, Armando! And I agree with everyone that the new crop works much better. The first version is nice but with the new crop it has a lot more impact. I might pull the crop back just a bit so that the drops aren't quite so centered, though.

The drops really do look like little jewels. I like that in the cropped version I start to notice the reflections on the drops, too. Because of those reflections I started thinking about water droplet photos with objects focused in the drops. I've never tried to make a photo like that but I've seen some really good ones. I don't know how difficult it would have been, but it seems like it might be worth trying to set up some focused objects in the dewdrops next time you try a photo like this. It could take it to the next level

Your final edit here is excellent and now you have a well deserved Sticky. Very well done to you.

[armando_m]

Thanks John, I didn't know I was going to get this until I saw it on the computer
to actually add something I'll need to be with my nose on the ground, and be careful not to disturb things as it may ruin the equilibrium of things, but I'll try

Thanks Overbeyond !

[LeeIs]

congrats on the sticky armando! very deserved.

[shootme]

Love the crop, seriously good macro and such splendid detail, congrats on the sticky.

[armando_m]

Thanks Liban and Shootme!

[hminx]

The origonals pretty good but the crop lifts it a notch. Congrats on sticky armando.

[GB1]

yeah this is a nice find Armando. The drops of water almost seem artificial. I guess things in nature that are perfectly round like this are uncommon. Congrats on the sticky and keep your eyes open for more
