Sprinkled Leaf

Title says it all :) There was a huge pile of leaves to choose from and I found this one on top of the heap. I never took closeups of leaves before so I discovered something I never realized before…....The colored shiny sides of the leaves held little or no droplets and the back sides of the leaves held all of the tiny droplets perfectly. Never knew that :)

Sprinkled Leaf belongs to the following groups:

Rain Drops

    Wow. I never knew that either but that’s fascinating!
    And well, now that I think about it, makes sense.
    The ridges act as traction holding the drops..how neat.

    This is a super sharp, photo..really jumps off the screen too.
    Well done!

    ahhh… now something different.. the capture of dropplets, now with the side lighting added. The lightness of the leaf perhaps adds something to it as the light bounces well. Hmmm.. I still like the perfect circular globs… Using PS I prefer not.. to your comment.. it also depends how the weather is.. when it is dry.. also the dropplets tend to roll off.. as they sit and the petal looses the tension.. then the dropplets start to loose their spherical shape. Nice job. Option of running the main stem diagonal… or having the dark portions take more of a shape in the frame… See how they are like fingerlike projections?.. get them to have a pleasant feel.. straight across is fine too.

    I agree great detail, composition and the monochromatic approach works well.—Rene
