This image was made in 2004 back when I was living in New Hampshire. A summer rain had passed through a local hiking area leaving everything soaked. I think I might have been looking for frogs that day but decided to take a moment to capture this.

Wow - so pretty! I love all those beautiful droplets. They look like jewels against the green leaves.

Dazzling raindrops on a very nicely textured leaf.

Even though I love GREEN vegetation, I try to avoid all GREEN.
But, your photo proves me wrong.
The rain drops seem to break-up the GREEN only.
Nice comp, well done.

This certainly has that old Velvia sparkle. You certainly found the sweet spot in terms of aperture. Also, this is kind a monochrome image.
