Took this after a light rain shower. This tiny, perfectly round drop was on a pansy flower. Would like your opinions on how the whites look and about the composition. Any C&C are welcome!
Olympus SP-550 UZ
f4.5 @ 1/100, ISO 100
Aperture priority mode, pattern metering, auto WB
Processed in PS CS2; cropped, curves adjustment, selective color to remove slight color cast in whites, noise reduction, and a little cloning on the BG
I actually like this Chris...to me it looks like a glass marble going down a snow covered mountain...the whites look good, within the color range, with a cotton candy twist...:D:):cool:
In terms of composition I agree with Al's suggestion to crop a bit off the bottom. In fact, I might take a bunch off the bottom and make this into a horizontal image (almost pano). It is an appealing image - fun to try to find the "best" composition. The allusion to a ball rolling down a snow bank is a good one.
Well done

Christopher, I really, really like this one. I'd crop a little way down from the dark spot on right edge of frame-which I would also evict along w/ the small brown spot on left. Really interesting look and does look like a snowbank!!Great eye for this!!!
Hi Christopher, I think this is beautiful in its simplicity. I am trying to figure how the drop is staying there.:) Thought the whites maybe had a bit of a blue cast and I brightened them a bit. Don't know how it actually looked to you, I am just giving you ideas. Also agree with Denise about the brown spot. Minor points though, very nice shot.
Chris....love the image...whites look fine to me....I agree with cropping some off the bottom and taking care of the brown spot...Congrats on this one!
Perfect Little Drop
