Frozen Water Droplets

IPClark

Back out in the garden again today. This time on the lookout for frozen droplets. All handheld because there was a slight breeze and tripod would have been no use.

This is the same droplet as above however from a slightly different perspective and using Tungsten white balance. I think I'll revisit this one in post processing as there are some nasty issues in the bottom right. Focus on this shot wasn't brilliant but I might have been a little heavy handed with focus magic (and accidentally failed to use a layer or two)

Lovely series- esp like #2 and the crop from it - amazing "bubble plant" inside the frozen drop.

wow, i love the back ground colors, the deep greens and blues really make the water droplet pop! number two would have to be my favorite.
