Is that a light box in the reflection? its a cracking picture by the way..

Thats a great photo, the drop looks like it may just dissolve and run away at any time.

Thanks for looking folk ;) Haggisuk it is one of these: Diffuser Linky (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=45571)

Really really good.

2nd shot is beautiful!
Personally Id chop a cm off the top, just to cut away the outer green leaf tips. For me this works much better with just the central leaf pointing down from the blackness, to to the gorgeous dew drop... which looks quite exquisite! :thumbs:

You are quite right InaGlo and it fits the square format really well. I should have noticed that shouldn't I. Thanks ;)

Nice and simple and clear as always Alby!

I agree with 'glo about the crop for the second one.

[Ladybird]

Awesome! :clap:

Excellent capture.... although I think the square diffuser light isn't in keeping with this natural history subject.
