Dew drops

[Steve Bein]

This was a tiny plant next to the poppy fields. I have posted others from this series before, this is a first for this one. Being nearsighted, I could find the compositions I wanted, then try to find them in the viewfinder,hoping to keep the scene infocus and hoping not to knock the drops off the plants. This was not misted, but morning dew, shot while laying in the dire in a gully. from a few years ago.

Hi Steve,
To me, this one lacks the impact of some of the previous ones. I might be tempted to crop out the top left drop from the left and top proportionally as the TL drop is partially cut anyway. Still very cool that you could get dew drops to look this good,

Nice image, Good use of the limited DOF.

Agree with Roman, cropping the drop on the left edge would clean the image up, another alternative would be to give the drop more room, but cropping makes a better composition.

As a carry over from my film days, I tried to use full frame and not crop. In the modification posted in "Out of the box", I moved the left drop inside so it was not cut off. This is one of the images with not a lot of the poppies behind in the large drops and they show in the smaller ones. I still have some that I never processed and will see what I can do with them.
