if only...

...my morning stroll through the garden was rewarded with diamonds placed in the crook of new columbine leaves by faeries...alas, it is only dew. Best viewed large with the dark background (in my opinion).
This is so beautiful!

@aforart thanks, Amanda. I couldn't get over how much it looked like a diamond.

I want to know too, I took similar water drop on a nasturtium leaf yesterday but couldn't make it pop like you have here, heavy dark vignette for starters eh?

@elizabeth264 @kali66 obviously i nade it b&w. I know I adjusted the shadow to darken the whole image and added a "treatment" of glow. I can't remember if i did something else. I don't use any fancy processing programs - I use Picasa for most of my editing. I've played with other iPod apps when I shoot with my iPod, but this was a Picasa edit.
