Droplet

An excellent macro!

This is the kind of image that makes me want to grab my camera and get to work. It's a reminder of the incredible beauty that exists in the simplest of things.

Beautifully composed and exposed image. Incredibly I have had in mind just such an image, and have been searching for the appropriate feather. If only mine turns out half as well as this ... the feather isn't for sale is it?

 

Gorgeous work.

This is an incredible photograph! Great work!

Very elegant image. Excellent composition and beautiful exposure. Good work.

Thanks to all, for taking time to rate and comment on my "Droplet". I really appreciat.

That really is a fantastic image! It works on all levels, aesthetics, composition, tone. Well done and very inspiring.

I love macro!

 

I just said that in another picture. This one is great. I have a shot much like this, three droplets on a grass leaf. Because of the small pili on the leaf the drops look like they're floating.

 

But on this one you captured the texture and the drop is almost invisible. And that highlight, it is beautiful. It gives depth to the drop. Simple and plain, yet astonishing. NC

Most Macros tend to leave me cold... but this is spectacular. My one qualm would be the bright highlight in the water drop. But other than that, the strong lines, composition, and exposure make this a truly wonderful photo.

 

Just out of curiosity, how much cropping was done?

I have a not so great macro lens to my G1, I was forced to cropp a lot to get this frame with the diagonal line.

WOW you inspire me

thanks

It's all been said but I couldn't help adding my praise. Very nice!

Wow!

Wonderful composition. I love the way the lines of the feather play within the frame. Great shot!

Extremely well executed, with a very good light and composition. My favorite drop shot of yours at this point. Regards.

It's beautiful because it's simple, but that makes it very powerful. I love this.

I love macro shots because they show the simplicity and beauty of the building blocks of nature. I especially enjoy the white diagonal stripe's slight curve and offset in the drop.

 

Your lens says 250D -- does that mean you had a 250mm macro lens to take this picture?

frame this beautiful image-great job!!!

Congratulations on POW. This photograph looks great with all other Droplet photos. My favorite is this one though. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1014375

 

Your entire portfolio is most amazing indeed. I guess its time I mark you interesting.

 

Best Wishes

You have been one of my favorite photographers here for a while, and I think your work is excellent! Thanks so much for sharing with us!

 

Congrats!!!

Super. I really like the lighting on this. The bit in the upper left corner takes away from it a bit, but even with it it's an excellent picture. I'm guessing that cropping it out (whether from the left or the top) would throw off the composition.

Finally, a POW that just about everyone should be able to agree on, as an excellent choice. The elves must have decided that the needed a break.

 

Excellent compostion and tonal range. My only minor pick is the brightness of the highlight on the water drop, but that is just a personal taste.

 

Very nice job Ilona and congratulations.

Finally, a straight PHOTOGRAPH is cosen. Congrats. Very nice shot. Good composition and contrast.
