Foggy Foggy Dew

Tried to capture the dew drops on the dead grasses, found out that if you accidently bump a stem, all the drops fall off! there was a slight breeze, which did not help. Interested to see thoughts on cropping this image, which is FF.

Interesting image, John. I like the geometric design look of the small cluster of waterdrops, tiny stems, and webs. This looks like the sharpest part of the image as well. However, I am not sure the image would hold up to that severe a crop, and no other crops occur to me. I am curious to see what other crop suggestions are offered. p.s., I also like the BG very much.

I like the water drops. The background really works with the subject.

About all I can offer as a cropping option is a little off the bottom and a smidge off the left side so the diagonal of the stem bisects the image, corner to corner. (which is almost the same as what you have here) I do like the strong diagonal and the drops and seedheads make a great subject.

I'm not sure I would want to crop this image John, I like the symmetry and the different angles and the "negative" space in the top right pushes my eye down into the frame. Beautiful bg to set it off as well.
