It rained again this afternoon. I tried photographing flowers after it stopped, but none of them could match the effect of the shining droplets on this leaf. Macro setting, at f8 for maximum depth of field, from approx 6cm, using fill-in flash in moderate sunlight, under-exposed by 0.3 EV.

Here nothing, see nothing, speak nothing.. that way noone gets hurt.....
Amazing that there are so many colors in this leaf Simon. The red edge adds the perfect accent as does the yellow at the top! The water droplets remind me of diamonds. Excellent capture on this macro.....in my fav's on my HD & thank you :))

Very nice close-up, Simon. Did you edit it?

Thanks Pierre :-) The only editing was a small adjustment to brightness and contrast, and a little USM, which I find benefits almost all digital pics.

i adore this shot, the contrasting colours of pinky red and green really make this photo stand out and the clarity of the water droplets is just beautiful.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

A wonderful capture - are you a professional, or just a very skilled amateur?

Hello Simon...On the whole I think this is a tremendous piece of work...Any image that holds your attention is doing its job well and the detail in the waterdrops supported by the intricate patterns in the leaf makes for a picture with bags of impact....The only thing I 'd have done is crop a bit tighter...The black areas on the left and right of the frame is'nt doing much and the shot is all about the waterdrops on the leaf....Give it a try as I feel it will give the picture more impact...Bonus points from me...All the best...Mick.

Skillful. A wonderful balance of bright and dark. I especially like the light and dark within the droplets of water. There is this sensation of imminent movement in the droplets.
Oh, and it's just darn pretty!

So cool! I love water drops on leaves and flowers. I've tried it myself, but nothing came out this beautiful. Great job.
