Thanks to everyone. It is not a flower, but a specialized leaf of Drosera scorpioides, a carnivorous plant.

Could have been an excellent shot but was marred by a poor DoF

Sundew?

Kewl shot, I like the droplets of water and the DOF...good job! 9

There's a lot of interest created here - I think primarily because the in-focus elements are darer than the out-of-focus. My difficulty is wuth the cluttered-ness of the background - as much with the way in which its blurred as the fact that its blurred. Loses you a couple of points - on an entirely subjective 'I don't like it' basis.

it's a cool photo, but what is it?
07/31/2003 05:55:21 AM
I think the picture would be more impactant with higher depth of field
07/30/2003 05:54:33 PM
nicely abstract

interesting. what is this?
07/30/2003 02:16:02 PM
I cannot make out what this is, even though I like the colors and the dots of water.

Very interesting image. The sharp water droplets nicely contrast with the out of focus ones. The plant poking in at the left is a bit distracting though. By taking that out the impact would most likely increase. - 8

Wonderful use of limited DOF.

A pretty pattern of colour and light - water looks great. Not sure what it is, though not sure that matters for this image.

Very interesting subject.. I would have liked a little more focus,, anywhere! It's hard to make a judgment on what exactly is the focal point of this shot. As an abstract it's also too confusing too my eye.

Technically, I know this is a flower, but MAN it's so darn pretty I'm not voting it down on those grounds (and the topic's forbidding flowers as the main subject). 10. Some would say the focus is 'blurry,' bu tthe fact that there are bubbles of *perfect* sharp focus floating on the softer background makes it work for me, making it (a) intentional and (b) enchanting instead of making me want to clean my monitor.

Wonderful abstract feel. The water drops make it pop. The color and little rings of light are awesome !!!!!!
