Working on a concept for Challenge 2.2 but I've been playing with it so long I'm not sure what I have anymore. Brutal criticism gladly accepted.

no brutal-ness here...

imho, i dont find this shot there for the theme....ok theres some drops but they are over powered by everything else....can you get closer to the drops?

another thing that would help this shot is bg exposure needs to be far darker... help the prominent branch stand out from the lot.

Thanks for the input. I had already darkened the background somewhat and made a series of adjustments to enhance the leaves. But after awhile I wasn't sure if I was getting anywhere. Time to move on...

Try getting closer to the drops with you camera. Do you have a macro lens?

Nope, no macro. Using a 50-200mm so I have to stand off about 1 meter and zoom. A little tricky to hold focus and get a tight crop.

Hey Tom, since you don't have a macro lens one of the people on dailies used a magnifying glass and got an awesome shot.

Peace, gail
