Dew on Leaf

Gallery: FloraPosted June 19, 20181,771 views4 comments

Saturday morning I was surrounded by dewy leaves at Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve, 1.4 miles from my new home in Decatur, Georgia. I thought I could best capture that by trying to capture one of those leaves.

I tried different depths of field and different focal points, and to me this was the best. Please let me know what you think.

Good detail in the water droplets while the background is nicely blurred. Well done.

Barbara: This works for me. I enjoy shooting drops and the challenge of getting the focus right. I think you did well here. 2 thumbs up.>=))>

Well taken! I like your composition with this image. Harder than it looks to get good shots. Thanks for sharing.

Good as is. Just enough DOF to define the edge and some of the water drops.
