Tiny sage forest

[Nancy Bell]

This is the 1st time I've gotten an image in a rain drop! And it was really by accident as I was trying to just photograph the perfectly round spheres of water droplets. Now I will have to google the technique to discover how to do it on purpose .

Canon 1D-Mark IV, Canon 100 f2.8 macro, 1/320, f7.1,-1 exp. comp., ISO 400.

Early morning sun after night time rain, in my natural meadow.

C & C very welcome.

A world within a drop. A wonderful pic. Would be great as a Winter image!

Nice rain drop capture. If you did this by accident, I look forward to seeing your intentional work.

Hi Nancy, that is really cool. I love the way the world is viewed upside down within the drop!

Nancy, Beautiful soft colors and the drop has an awesome reflection!

[Brendan Dozier]

This is very cool, Nancy! Amazing detail in the reflection and real nice comp. Very minor, but might clone out the dark area in LRC. Nice surprise and discovery.

Nancy,

Wow! One wild shot! Good show.

Cheers,

The image in the drop of water is so bright and sharp! Wonderful. I'm laughing at the idea of having to go find out how to achieve this purposefully. I've never succeeded at this.

I agree about cloning out the lower right corner. I also think the image is too dark. I'd like to see the greens brighter and a more pleasing green.

Great capture!

Hey Nnacy,
Nice accident! I like th suggestion of the LR and above by Anita. Small tweaks will make this shine and looking forward to your other attempts!

[Indranil Sircar]

You have a winner here, Nancy! Love the details. Good suggestions and it will make it even stronger.

[Nancy Bell]

Thank you everyone! I'll play a little more with the image using the suggestions.

Nancy, I love it! It has a very "story-book" look to it (at least that's the way I see it)
