Spotted this interesting leave after a heavy rain.   A LED light was place behind to get this effect. I welcome your C & C for improvements.

Wonderful focus from top to bottom. Lighting is superb highlighting the water drops without creating catchlights.

I like the drops and the leaf details very much - and the light. It's got sparkle.
I'd recommend reducing the top leaf edge highlights slightly - an easy fix in postprocessing. But you may prefer this look as is.

Ram, Tom - Thank you very much for your feedback.

Tom - I do find the top leaf edge highlights a tad too bright. I am not particularly good at post processing. I would appreciate it if you could share with me how to do it. Tks again!

Hi

I like it - it is a well worked image and I like the sharp look throughout with the dark surround helping to simplify and enhance the subject


All the best
Matthew

A great idea and well executed, beautiful light effect, good detail and overall DOF, the black background works very well.

I like it as it is, so crisp and clean with such exquisite detail, and the light is superb for my tastes!
