Default Dewdrop Perspective

Hi guys. I got some early morning shots on the road this weekend. Stopped on the side of the road to photograph a misty outlook and then spotted a quarter of a spiderweb blowing in the breeze, laden with dewdrops. I took a few different perspectives and would like your opinion as to which you like better. I think I am more partial to the ground view.

The sky shot seems to be more popular - any reason?

I couldnt even begin to choose as theyboth have thier own unique qualities to them.
The reflections in both of them are wonderful. Have you maybe thought about cropping down the empty space to the right of them?

wow. they are both excellent pictures. It was a tough choice for me, but I like the ground view slightly more. I like the reflection in the dew. but the sky view also has a good reflection. hmm. either way, nice captures.

There's no way I could decide with these ones actually! I like them both. I like the bold colours in the first one, but the second one looks like a jeweled necklace filled with miniature worlds. So if I really, really had to pick I'd probably go with the second one, but I really do like them both.

I love the colors in the first one- and I think you should keep the space to the right of the drops, I think it's perfectly framed.
