Was just playing around with a Macro shot of a Dew drop from one of my Iris leaves.
Combo of Macro and Selective Color.

Interesting or have I got better things to do? :dunno

    I looked at the photo before reading the text and I'm sorry to say that I had no idea what I was looking at if you didn't tell me.

    I guess you can call it interesting because I kept staring at it, thinking "what is it?" However, I dont' think that what you intended for me to do...

    I did mention it was a Dew Drop but it does have a odd "slug" shape to it. headscratch.gif:D

    I did think it looked a bit like something sneezed at first. Especially as it settles into the leaf there and most of the dewdrops I see in this forum are gravity-defyingly spherical. :D

    I like it better with the leaf in color; gives it context. Or should I say correct context. Otherwise it looks like something I need to wash off the deck. And in context, it is interesting. A nice job of macro-ing, IMO. Love the little sparkle.

    Doesn't mean you don't have better things to do, though :D

    Yup it's interesting, but looks like a green blob more than a due drop rolleyes1.gif
    I was reading Schmooo's comment and I thought, that's what I was thinking too hehehe.

    Nice Start Burst you caught in it Graphy clap.gif
    (need to remove purple fringe off it, in your editing)

    Using selective colouring on this shot makes the background look like it is wood with something green on it.

    Excellent detail in that shot thumb.gif .... Skippy
