Ok,let's focus on the title. "Journey" Well,I think it means to show the journey of the water droplets (dew or rain?) going towards the tip of the leaves before dropping out. But,that's the literal meaning.

Now,the photo itself. The Depth-Of-Field (F/1.8,that's quite jaw dropping to me !) is perfect;the focus on the water droplet is pretty sharp,and the rest of the background is blurred very nicely. :thumbup: I got one question though: Where's the light coming from? The time the photo was taken shows at 12:18 am. Which,by then,it's very dark. So,I wondered if you had used flash. Nevertheless,the lighting is very well done that it is (and has)probably make me thought that this was taken in the morning.

Problems for me are quite minimal: Upon full-viewing this photo,I see a slight glare from the light source,but it actually does not affect the photo;it actually adds an artistic feel too,in my opinion. But in the end,it is very hard to prevent/control light/lens glare,even for me! Oh yeah,and the watermark is slightly distracting but it also does not affect the photo at all. Well,I think that's quite a creative place to put the watermark at,in actual fact!

Overall,I think that it is a very good macro shot;clean,sharp and bright>>the ingredients of a good macro photo. Very nice!! (Hmm,what's a reversed lens?)

Thank you so much !!!
Reversed lens - i took my regular lenses(the cheapest lenses) and flipped them over. I'm not best at explaining it in english, so here is one tutorial [link]
I think my camera's clock was crazy, i took it with natural light from a window, when i took it it was evening, like 6 pm or something

You're welcome!!

Thanks for the link! I actually do not have a DSLR (I use p&s camera ) but it's good to know this,so when I finally get my DSLR,maybe I'll try this out

Well,that explains it...6 hours late,time zones maybe?

i don't know, i think my camera is crazy maybe sometimes when the battery is empty.. the clock somehow stops or something, i havent changed it in like.. never.
