Dewdrop Refraction (First attempt ever)

[Jason Hurst]

I've always wanted to try and photograph Dewdrop Refractions so this morning I gave it a shot for the first time. I didn't have much success but I think I did manage to capture a few decent shots.

Hi Jason, I really like this especially as a first attempt. Not easy to do and you have created an interesting image. I like the refraction in the dewdrop and the background is stellar. I do find the highlights on the dew drop a little distracting. Nice image overall. -- Allen

Thanks Allen. :) I guess I have to take more notice of the position of the flash...or diffuse the light somehow. I appreciate the feedback.
