Wow, these are absolutely exquisite!
How on earth did you get such perfect shots?
What lovely shades of green, too. ^^
The dew drops looks like little glass spheres or something..
I really cannot find anything to critique; this seems to be the trademark of a truly professional photographer!
Would love to see more of your stuff!

Wow. This is the sweetest thing since sliced bread. I love the lush green color and how in each droplet you can see a something. I think in that one droplet there's a rive or something, but it's hard to tell. My favorite was the middle one since the droplets vividly showed the thing they reflected, and it was cool.

Anyway, great photography.

Hi Stella--

This is a wonderful idea, and I loved the leaves that you chose: the colors are exquisite and bold and stand out very well. I like the 1-2-lots order idea here.

The third picture is certainly my favorite. The entire photo is incased in green, the water droplets are perfect and almost seem to grow from one side to the other. Everything is absolutely perfect here except the water droplet all the way to the left: I want to see the whole thing rather than have it cut off.

The other two pictures, however, leave a bit to be desired. Unlike the third picture, neither of these is in focus. Sometimes lack of focus is good and can add to a photo, but this is not one of those cases. The water droplets are such a large percentage of the photo that any area in the background that is not focused takes away from the photo and interfere's with the subject. Especially in the first photo, the fuzziness on the bottom goes all the way into the bottom of the droplet, which makes the photo unclear and much less bold then it should be.

This is a great start, and I look forward to seeing more of your photos! :]

WOW! Talk about awesome! I love the slide like layout. It's not like some of those other collages where the photos are just stacked. It's sequenced and I agree with the person above me who said you can see something in each droplet. This is so cool, it's unique, and it has so much originality to it that I can't put it to words. I love it!

Wow. perfectly exquisite. I don't understand how you got these perfect shots, they are just great. You should definately look into a career in photography because youre just that good. I can't take very good pictures... I do better at drawing them. You should submit this into a contest.

Wow I really love these, the pictures are so crisp and clear its amazing! Did you edit these on photoshop or something? They just look so perfect! What kind of camera were they taken on?

The thirs one is definatly my favourite, it looks like the riandrops have arranged themselves in a pattern Smile And The second one has that beautiful crystal effect - really good well done!

All the best,
Meevs
