Default Backyard in winter

It was raining and I saw it as the perfect oppurtunity to go try my hand at some shots of rain droplets on the plants.

Feel free to tell me anything that will help, it would be much appreciated
Thanks guys.

MOLL!POP , Welcome

We can make guesses - what really helps us is when you include EXIF for your image and ask a specific question about a specific aspect that concerns you - what you most want critiqued. We usually add other thoughts, too - when you are specific, we know you've given your shot some thought before posting in Critique.

If you adjust your position, relative to the light souce, those white spots (bottom left and right, and especially the huge one under your watermark) - could be avoided. Sometimes the nature of the drops can be dramatically improved by changing your camera angle.

The layering is a good look, and this is generally a good shot.

Thanks for the advice
I'll take that into account next time I post a photo. I've got all winter to practice my angles, so let's hope it rains soon

You can spritz plants, too - it's good for practicing! And remember crystals on windows, icicles and snow drifts in the Winter, too.
