Solitary Tear

Image Description

We have a nice group of cala lilies in our garden and I’m always on the lookout for fresh blooms in the mornings. Found this one with a single drop. Perhaps a broken heart? >=))>

This was taken before I got into stacking but I actually prefer the limited DOF. Your thoughts?

Ahh, I was going to say a broken heart. That really does come through with this photo Bill. But it is beautifully captured.

Bill, this is lovely. Your choice of focus makes the drop and the long “tongue(??)” the stars, while the whiteness of the lets it fill the frame with interest.

This is drop dead gorgeous!!! One thing that does pull my eye slightly is the lower edge of the leaf ont he left. If it could be burned down a bit to match the area to the left of the droplet, I think it would be worth the trouble. In any case it is a total WOW!

This is a total wow. Unusual perspective and angle I think to really emphasize that leading line with the drop. Bright edges could be toned down but only if they don’t turn muddy and gray. Most excellent.

Well, another “total WOW” from me. The DOF is perfect for this image.

Gorgeous colours and composition. There maybe another version of this with the suggestions above but it would be hard to get this image any beter.

Bill, not sure how I missed this one, but CONGRATS on the EP…well deserved.
