Hi Michael,

A distinctive image. Well shot.

I like the lens effect from the water drops.

Best Regards, Mike

greetings Michael - I like this one also. I am torn between your current version and making one a bit darker.  ..... h-m-m-m - I have just decided that it is not the whole image that needs to be darker - just the leaf at the top right. And it comes down to personal taste.

As always, your feedback is valuable.

Many thanks for your critique.  Can you please explain why you think the image would be better with the top leaf darker?  My objective was to showcase the larger one.  I always appreciate your expertise.

Michael, based on feedback here at photo.net, I learned that in general, light areas of an image attract the eyes. The top leaf was not in focus so I decided, it was not being emphasized and as a viewer and from a personal taste, to darken that area. The focused waterdrop and the leaf in the middle seemed to be the main subject for me.

In any event, it is what you like that matters. Mine is just another view and there is no correct or incorrect version.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for posting your version.  I do see your point.

Ciao . . .
