Leaves, Thorns and Raindrops

Raining today so thought I would see if I could get a raindrop shot I liked even though I don't have a macro lens at this point in time. I did (it is in my other album http://365project.org/annied/the-ones-i-left/2013-06-02) but, as chuffed as I was with that shot, I just loved the final result of this one. Large view is nice.

Most beautiful & detailed capture! Lovely colors!

This is almost abstract, I like the colours in the droplets.

[Taffy]

This is such a great capture! I love the textures in the leaves and the reflections in the droplets.

Beautiful shot. I love the focus, composition & colours.

[Paula W]

This is great Annie, especially the colours reflected in those drops.

@cjainmd @bluefirebucket @taffy @jesperani @paulaw Thankyou so much - I was experimenting with a few different settings when I took photos these leaves. When I saw the composition of the leaves with the thorny stem I instantly loved it so started playing around with the processing to make them stand out more.

Fantastic composition! Love the silver raindrops and your dof!!

I thought it was ironwork in the thumbnail. Would make a nice gate design albeit slightly lethal (minor design flaw there!) I like all the many waterdroplets.

[Annie D]

@sabresun Haha as a gate it might work to keep intruders away :)

[Karen Matthews]

Just beautiful!
