Water Droplets on Leaves

[stevesutt89]

I was walking around the side of my house and saw these water droplets just sitting there on a large leaf after some rain, so i grabbed my camera, put my 55mm lens on backwards and snapped away.

I was really unsure of what to do for composition of this shot and i don't feel that this one has come out that well....

what do you guys think?

I really like the crystallised effect on the three bigger drops, but felt that they could be made a little more prominent. So I took the liberty of editing your shot a little to see what I could come up with. Just cropped a little and tweaked the levels and curves, then boosted the saturation a tad. I'm not sure of the end result myself, but thought it might lead to some discussion! If you are unhappy with any of this please let me know and I will delete it!

The drops are intriqueing. The overall composition has opposing focus. The eye cannot decide between the single drop to the left or the runnng 3 to the right. Either choice could work.

I like Penny's crop. Those drops are very interesting!
