Really like thi original approach!
What a great reflection in that one big drop!
I do feel cropping this tighter around that big drop would make this photograph much stronger and lay more emphasis on the reflection.

Well done thinking "outside of the box"!

Hey Stuart, I really like the creativity here. The color pops, and I would agree with a tighter crop, it would help to emphasis the drop which is the main interest.

[Stuart Dahne]

Wow, I just tried a much tighter crop & I must say that I am incredibly impressed!!!!! THANKS!

[John Cooper]

Very well seen and captured Stuart - you have an artistic flair there!!!
I agree that a crop from the right would strengthen the composition but I would still like to see some of the dark corner retained. Well done and I hope the flu is on the mend!!

Well done, interesting and different. Great image over all.
The black background makes the yellow stand out but I would have liked to have seen a slightly lighter color as the back competes with the rest of the image too much.

Gorgeous even before one sees the reflections in the drops!
Bravo, sir, from another Stuart.

Very well done, love the combination of colors between the background and foreground. The dew drops gives it the right touch..

Congrats...:D
