Beautiful and crisp looking droplet. I like the softness, but I think it is maybe a little bit to much. I'd try a higher aperture in order to create a larger depth of field. Shifting the perspective slightly to the left might help, too. Very nice colors and contrast though. The unobtrusive blue-gray background is a perfect fit.

oddly enough I've had that comment before and I can definitely see where you're coming from because the flower is so blurred it really plays very little part in the picture and a higher aperture would've meant you could see its detail better. Thanks for your comment, you've given me something to think about The background is probably my computer, I'm very limited for space!

thanks I was really happy with the way this turned out, sometimes the droplets go really flat but this one maintained shape!

olilamont [2007-08-02 17:57:07 +0000 UTC]

I know the goal is to focus on the water drop, but I would have enjoyed less blur in the back to see more of this beautiful flower. Still, a great and soft picture you made, bravo!

finkycake In reply to olilamont [2007-08-02 18:30:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I know what you mean about the flower being so out of focus, you really can't see what it's like - that's sometimes the problem with using f1.8 or f2, the depth of field is nearly too narrow! Still, overall I'm happy with the shot and glad you like it!

Nice and soft I like those type of shots a lot. You could also try a bit more to the left and down. The focus is well controlled.
