Beautifully captured macro. I'm not a fan of boarders but many are so don't let that get you down. ;) In every other respect you have me burning on all cylinders. ^_^
Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.

Green is said to be the serene color, and if I keep looking at this, I'm going to be napping instead of commenting..lol..
The crispness of your presentation here is excellent, and I like the treatment of the subject with the drops. Water always adds a certain excitement to a post, and the individual droplets always amaze me in their very differences from each other..size, clarity, amount of magnification they afford, differing shadows in each..well, I guess that's what you get when the clarity is as good as it is here. Truly close macros like this are always fun anyway when they're done right, as this one is a fine example of one done right. I like the way you can see the tiny veins in the leaf, and follow them around almost like a map. The background is pleasing, however, I might have blurred it out a little more in this particular post, only because personally I find it distracting to some degree. It's not enough to really be concerned about and some might say that it adds to the experience of looking at this, but I want my eye to rest on the leaf and not be worried about the background. It also interferes with the nicey positioned angle of your subject. The framing is perfect for this most excellent macro and adds a lot. :)PJ
This is a beautiful image Helena. Its early morning here in Sri Lanka and the country is having a war 500km away from where I'am. But your image looks so peaceful and I wonder why people cant share this land like those water drops big and small shares the same leafe.
What a beautiful macro Helena. You've taken something as simple as drops of water on a leaf and turned it into a thing of beauty.Wonder how many people would have just passed by without seeing the beauty of this?. So glad you saw it and wanted to share.
