This shot was taken during a rainy afternoon in early summer.
I was attracted by the effect of droplets.

Cool image. Like a waterdrop tree. I like the chosen DOF.

The water drops make this unique and interesting. I would love to have made a stacked image to get more in focus.

Love the droplets Monica and the composition. I might consider a 4:5 or square composition to emphasize them a bit more but that's purely subjective.

The details in the water drops are amazing. I'd be tempted to call this one "bad hair day"

Really nice Monica, excellent plane of focus & use of the f/9
Technical side looks perfect, it's a very attractive image..
I found myself lost within each & every one of the tiny droplets, trying to see what I could see

Very well done!!

Intriging image. Very unique IMHO. Do you have a photo where there is only one drop? I think it would be very interesting. Well done, I like the color and details. Thanks for sharing.

A very beautiful image. Each drop is like a crystal ball.

Love the look of this, Monica! The raindrops hanging on the ends of the spiky stems are really eye catching. Great comp and DOF choice.

Thanks for the nice comments and suggestions.
John, unfortunately I don't have an image with only one drop, I was fascinated by the harmony of the whole and I concentrated on that.

Your drops are made of Boemia crystals, Monica. Very impressive shot.

Glad you saw the potential in this subject. Don't know what kind of plant, but think waterdrop tree fits it fine. Congratulations on a unique subject and a fine presentation.
