Great dof; love the leaves...especially the shapes! Seems different from all the normal, every day water droplet shots...great job. I also like the blured water droplets in the background...great dof.
The post processing seems just a little bland for you though...can't quite put my finger on it...perhaps contrast or color? Just a minor detail though. This one would look great on a dark background. Awesome macro; I wish I could shoot like this!

Again, unbelievable how sharp the drops are in contrast to the fuzzy leave. I like this whole series.

That is a stunning picture..! The DOF is perfect; the colour saturation is brilliant... I suppose this picture fits in with the 'beauty close to home' theme...
Thanks for your kind words on my blog (which is going through it's annual maintenance upheaval) but after seeing your pictures I'm sure I have a long, long way to go...

Diamonds indeed, you really caught their beauty. I love the tiny reflections in each one. Wonderful stuff.

One more time: PERFECT!!
is the DOF only optical, or digital?
Best regards
Miguel
P.S: thanks for your email.

It's amazing how each drop is so spherical. Those leaves must be very waxy.

Nice Macro shot! Thinking of buying me one of those macro lenses some day. Love that the drops magnify the texture of the leaves.
btw. happy "birthday"!

Gorgeous photo. The drops of dew really do resemble gemstones. And the intense green of the leaf is just beautiful!

The blurred background drops look almost as if they are falling through the air.
