Nice macro Roger. I see in the details and the water droplets here what you say about the lens making such a difference. Great natural color too.

Very nice light and color Roger. Looks like that lens is very worthwhile!

Thanks, Kenrick and John. These first macro efforts haven't been easy.

Great, this one is as good as the previous one - love those waterdrops and the DOF is perfect!

Thanks,Dale. Following your lead.

Tell me what you think

Fantastic DOF in this beautiful macro with superb colours and details. All my compliments and regards. Maury

What works for me so well here are 1) the water droplets - delicate and reflective 2) the focusing, allowing my eye to wander and almost blending part of the foreground (or at least the middleground) with the background 3) the soft colors - pleasing to the eye and restful to the (metaphorical) soul. I also love the way the blur suggests movement but there is also such stillness as the water droplets hang where they are. Lovely image.

Great colours here, more waterdrops would have been great.

Beautiful colour saturation, excellent detail. Love the water droplets .
