beautiful droplets, very original and good lighting with nice texture and DOF.IMO,A little bit sharpen will be good. ;`)) Regards.

The leaf isn't big. The macro on the 5400 has a very short working distance. The focal area was about 1" away. The front of the leaf probably less than a half inch which would not allow it to be in focus.

My camera only goes to f7.X, depending on what the zoom is set in, so if I backed away and zoomed in on it would have opened up, and, lose DOF.

 

Lose-lose situation. Look at the pic of the pine cone, that was taken at full digital zoom (4X) it turned out grainy. I have a whole folder on my hard drive that is full of great looking photos that I took on this trip. Unfortunately, they are so grainy at normal viewing, they have become so less than good. It was my first time really using the Digital zoom, typically i avoided it. Now, I know why.

 

Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate the time and effort. Your comment is one of the most helpful I have recieved on PN, I'd would be very grateful if you could look at some other photos.

 

Thanks again cg

 

Will do, thanks for the help!

Nice shot Chad! I think the shadow adds something to it. It might be just a little to much. But I still think it looks great! Most everything else I see has already been said. Keep them coming!

Thanks ben, always a pleasure to have you stop by!

Chad, this is really fantastic - really, keep it up!

nice relief, especially on the partially obscured part of the leaf in the back.

Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave a kind word.
