nature Let it Rain

Nice picture!

Beautiful shot Linda, especially when viewed large.  Fantastic soft DOF is a splendid backdrop for this delicate draping branch.  The raindrops are a perfect addition (thanks be to the skys), that without them, the photograph would be totally different.  Congrats Linda, just beautiful. Calming and Serene. Most Sincerely, Gail

Beautiful composition and grat title

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I am glad you like it.

I was out walking in the great forest with my husband the day I took this. When we started out there was just a little drizzle of light rain; but later we were caught in a downpour. We took cover under a canopy of branchs and I took some shots after it stopped. The sun was just coming out and made the raindrops shine and sparkle. It was pure magic. I just inhaled all the fresh, sweet, fragrence of the natural world.

Very beautiful  shot and composition. Bravo my friend.

Nice image Linda, I like the mood and your diagonal composition.  I hope you dont mind i played a bit with your photo and i'm offering an alternative, slightly more contrasty to make the back light pop out through those leaves (not better just different).  Regards - michel 

Linda,

  Beautiful image with wonderful composition & light. Take care, Patsy

You have done a great job here in capturing the essence and mood of the rain as well as the aesthetic qualities of the leaves and water droplets, the diagonal composition works well, and the dof is perfect.

Nice work Linda

A charming composition of raindrops. Perfect color tonality. Best regards.

Simply natural with right level of color saturation.

Thank you all for commenting. I always enjoy hearing your thoughts.

Michel, thank you so much for the different version. I really like it. I think it is so much fun, and interesting to see how someone else would handle one of my images.

Best wishes.

Linda,

Great image. Good control on DOF.

Beautiful, clear, delicate; I love the light! Beautiful work Linda! Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you for looking and commenting. It's good to hear from you. Best wishes, Linda

I like the original and Michel's variation. I also like what you achieved with the background, the raindrops and the diagonal placement - well done and thanks for visiting one of my images recently.

Thanks for stopping by, good to hear from you.

Lovely work! Warm regards, Ilkka
