A Solitary Sphere

I have a very large amount to learn with regards to sharpening but I am pleased with my attempt here. The droplet of water was about 1 - 2mm in diameter.

Very impressive. It doesn't look oversharpened, especially since JPEG's are sharpened by Smugmug for web viewing. Excellent macro.

Thanks Goldenorfe.

Hehe, I have to admit, it took me AGES to get this shot . I took some using a much higher F-Stop for all round sharpness but then decided I wanted a really shallow DoF for a more abstract romantic shot (if I may be so bold as to call it that ) so trying to keep the AF points on the droplet whilst focussed at 1:1 (because it was so small) was a royal pain.. heh.

I ended up just taking what I could when I got it in focus as I wanted

I thought of a crop but felt it did more of an injustice to the image.

Beautiful! The frame looks a bit too simple for the beautiful subject.

IPClark

Thanks Manfr3d. I'm not very good when it comes to PS so did a frame I knew I could do easily

Would be happy to see what you could do.

I really like the color of the shot and how the drop is isolated in the field of view.
