| Love it. What settings did u use to achieve such a DOF in entire shot? I love macros but I am never able to get anything closer to this. Kindly guide me a little whenever u have time. Thanks. |

| Gordon, thanks for the comment... I added the water to this.. it was done inside on my livingroom floor... I placed the leaf (back side up) on a drinking glass about 6" above the floor on top of a black shirt... I provided the light with a 500w halogen lamp and left a dark shadow underneat the leaf so I could easily make the background completely black. The color version of this photo has had the levels adjusted back to as close to the original color as possible... |

| Just had a look at the colour version - I think the B&W is better - the textures are excellent on this. Did you add the water yourself or was it shot 'as is?" |

Congradulation! I love this photo very much.
Those water drops are very much like some kind of magnifier!
It is surely a perfect photo for large printout!

| Spectacular photo. Rest of contest is for second place. |
|
|
|
06/09/2002 04:03:00 PM |
| The crispness is profound, as is the detail on the leaf and bulbs of water. I wish the tip of the plant was more in focus though. |
|
|
|
06/09/2002 10:20:00 AM |
| wow how did the background get so black? |
|
|
|
06/09/2002 09:58:00 AM |
| Wicked! I love how clearly defined the crevices in the leaf is, as well as the droplets of water, great capture. |
|
|
|
06/08/2002 07:42:00 PM |
| Really lovely. The detail is wonderful! Mother Nature would be so proud... |

| great clarityand detail, sharp as a pin - dark bg suits |
|
|
|
06/07/2002 07:33:00 AM |
| Great tonal range, just lost the d.o.f at the bottom, I like this one. |
|
|
|
06/06/2002 05:36:00 PM |
| I'm guessing this one will win. I love the structures emphasized by the b&w, I love the lighting, and I love the crispness. I would really like to see it in color, but I'm guessing I like it better in b&w (which is really saying something, considering I don't generally like b&w at all). |
|
|
|
06/06/2002 04:24:00 PM |
| Nice macro. Nice B&W for contrast and texture. |
|
|
|
06/06/2002 09:30:00 AM |
| Perfect lighting, great focus, stunning detail - an all around gorgeous photo. One of my top two. |
|
|
|
06/06/2002 07:46:00 AM |
| Wonderful! The leaf structure comes up beautifully, and the drops of water magnify parts of it just to drive the point home of its fractal complexity, and then tease you with their spherical simplicity. Nature is... well... read Wordsworth to see how I feel about this photo :) 10! |
|
|
|
06/06/2002 01:02:00 AM |
| The rain drops really bring out the texture of the leaf. I'm glad to see a rain drop on the tip of the leaf too. |
|
|
|
06/05/2002 10:16:00 PM |
| I like the way you've catpured the detail on the leaf. Perhaps I'd like it better if I saw the whole leaf in the frame. |
|
|
|
06/05/2002 07:47:00 PM |
| Beautifully done magnifying effect -- is that water or another fluid? |

| I like taking photo of stuff with water on as drops of water always seem to stand out well. |
|
|
|
06/05/2002 09:52:00 AM |
| Love the lens effects of the droplets - catchlight from the flash looks good. Did you try this in colour? |
|
|
|
06/05/2002 09:02:00 AM |
| Very clear and sharp picture, i like the magnifying glass effect! |
|
|
|
06/05/2002 08:52:00 AM |
| this is easily one of my 5 top shots. the lighting, the detail, and the refraction of the water droplets, elevate this pic head and shoulders above the majority. the tip of the leaf where it curls is slightly oof, but that doesnt detract too much for me. a 9. |
|
|
|
06/05/2002 06:58:00 AM |
| wow.. great macro! Great lighting, sharp, good contrast. |
|
|
|
06/05/2002 02:41:00 AM |
| Sure glad I didn't submit my water drops this week. This is just about perfect - the detail, tonal range, clarity and composition are all first rate. Top 3, IMO. |
|
|
|
06/04/2002 07:08:00 PM |
| WOW. I'd give my 'I' teeth to beable to take a macro like this. fantastic. The only thing I would change would be to get the whole leaf in the shot. more! more! :) great job. A winner. |

|
|
|
06/04/2002 01:18:00 PM |
| Normally, leaves and water don't inspire me, but this picture is awesom. Great capture of the texture of the leaves, and the water droplets give it depth. Very nice! |
|
|
|
06/04/2002 12:17:00 PM |
| Is that really a leaf? It looks so flat. Great composition, lighting on the waterdrops, background...it all goes together quite nicely. Good job. |
|
|
|
06/04/2002 10:59:00 AM |
| I really like the photo a LOT. If I had to find anything wrong, I'd point out the couple of water drops that are kind of "flat," but it's so minor, it's part of the easter egg hunt. |

| the drops of water look like balls of glass ... nice and crisp ... |

| Great shot. Superb detail. Only detraction being that this was submitted for a B&W challenge, probably was better in color. Only reason it is not a 10 in my book. |

It's sharp. It's eye-catching. It's a great work! |
