At the risk of flogging a dead horse, here's the final image of these rose hips (promise!). This is a different image from the previous one and I've given it a closer crop - fairly obvious to those of you paying any attention. Smile I imagine those small flecks in the background are tiny drops of dew.
I'm so pleased these have gone down so well and big big thanks to Leon, Lynne and Andy for their precious UAs for Nature's Jewels uploaded yesterday.
As usual - thank you for looking and for your time!
Ann

Well I've looked and looked again, even in the water drops I've looked but no sign of a dead horse, where is it?

9 awards and still counting, well hush my mouth and hope to die lady you are the bee's knees.

I like the extra detail in this one, but I dislike the background brown it does nothing for any of these images, for me at least.

Fabulous - the beads of light, the reflections.
Can I suggest that there's another, different image to be had from this, by taking a portrait format crop from the left side - just the single rosehip and its reflection below? It's the better of the two reflections, and I'm pretty sure the quality of the image would stand such a severe crop.

A wonderfully captured composition, one which fills me with so much joy.

A Droplet of Water


A droplet of water on a flower or a leaf
Makes me want to get out my camera
A droplet of water on skin
Makes me want to get out my tongue

A superb shot !!.....the tighter crop works very well, & adds a little more impact....& if anything also adds to the 3D effect....a beauty !!!

A wonderful piece of macrowork Ann, you've really excelled yourself here. The background colour looks ok to me as it isn't too garish and out of place.
