Preston,

Great job with the focus stack! Great detail throughout. I really like how you isolated the single plant and have filled the frame; showcasing not only the rain drops, but just the fine detail in the leaves as well. Color, processing spot on to me.

If you had to twist my arm for a suggestion, I might say to burn down the leaves at the top of the frame, but that's pretty minor and more of a personal choice rather than fixing something.

Beautifully seen, captured and presented.

This is beautiful, Preston. Nice detail. Your focus stack worked well. I love the dew and the monochromatic look.

I'm not a big fan of stacks or composite images of any kind, but I must say that the detail is gorgeous, and probably impossible to obtain otherwise, Nicely done!

Beautiful, Preston! I would consider burning down the OOF leaves/grasses top right background, but pretty minor. Sweet image.

Tack sharp detail Preston. The rich color and light are the real show stoppers though. Lovely.

Beautifully done Preston. It has such a lovely 3D look. I get the feeling that the plant is emerging from the surface of the photograph.
