Not a patch on Lord V's abilities, but I took this in the garden at lunchtime. Despite the sun shining, it was very cold to the hands and I had to manually focus whilst shivering, so I knew it wouldn't be spot on, but I just suddenly had the urge to try it.

    Hi Paul, don't worry I have tried it a couple of times myself,
    but the lack of having flowers around doesn't exactly help me rolleyes1.gif

    Brian makes things look so easy.

    Even with your blown highlights I can clearly see the flower in the droplet.
    Very good attempt Paul :D ....... Skippy :D

    Thanks.

    I was shooting upwards at the sky which didn't help.


    I thought it was ok though too. :)

    Looks good to me :)
    I just find the OOF one on the left a bit distracting.

    Thanks Brian.

    I suppose I could have tried cutting it off before shooting, but the droplets were hanging on to the Leylandii tenuosly , and any movement would have been likely to send them all dripping to the ground.
