Hey Jan,
Of course I cannot judge the difference between this one and the previous since I did not see the other version,
One thing is for sure, I love this one, great use of DOF and nice effect that little one drop in the middle of the leaf creates on me, like that a lot,
Lovely done,

I love this, and if I can get my fingers to work on this keyboard, I will tell you why. it is well crafted, beautifully manipulated to show the droplet, and well proportioned. In all, an excellent picture and not a mistake in my opinion.
"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
