Another dewdrop image. I'm really liking this technique of focusing on the reflection in the drop. I've found the trick is to first focus on the dewdrop and then move the camera a little bit further away so that only the reflection is in focus. Any C&C are welcome!

Olympus SP-550 UZ
f3.5 @ 1/400, ISO 100, -0.7 EV
Aperture priority mode, pattern metering, cloudy WB
Processed in PS CS2; cropped, curves adjustment, saturation increase, and toned down and cloned the highlights in the drop

Well done Chris,
I like the crystal clear drop placed just right in frame; also like the introduction of the blade of grass as a diagonal in the frame...good show...:cool:

[Lance Peters]

Agree with Gus - well done - looks like you are really getting the hang of your camera for Macro :)
