Here's another in a series of dew drops taken some time ago. I was in the Blue Ridge Mountains when I discovered dew drops in the grass. I spent about thirty minutes with my Swiss Army knife trimming a minature landscape on my hands & knees.
Nikon F5, Nikkor 105 mm f/2.8 macro lens, 1.6 AF tele extender, Fuji Velvia and Bogen tripod. Not sure on the exposure but I was stopped down to somewhere between f/8- f/11. I used my PhotoFlex minature gold reflector to warm things up.
Hope its not too artsy...

Love the composition on this one Charlie! Beautiful color palette as well. I am tempted to tell you to take out the yellow reflective mark in the dew drop but I can't be sure without seeing it gone. Lovely image - a perfect choice for a conversion to a painted effect if you have the time and inclination.
Here's a re- post. Let me know what you think. I appreciate your critique.
It takes alot of work and self critique to produce mini landscapes IMO.

I like this a lot! Just lovely. Great mini-landscaping work! :D Love those angled lines--most of them going one way with the central one going the other. Beautiful colors. The water drop makes it special. I think I prefer the one without the yellow in the drop, though I had to go back and forth. Lovely work!
