The desaturation and the tone you used here really shows off the clarity of the water droplets. Sometimes the color of an object gets in the way, so it's fun to experiment as you have with this one.
This caught my eye in the voting booth. The sepia tone works well with this classy view. Marvelous capture of the droplets which are super clear - it looks like one could pick one of those drops off of the leaf. The frame is beautiful Russell, and is a perfect match for this artistic shot. Excellent work :)
