Rain Drops on Pine

maybe? perhaps darken the bottom left; seems to draw attention away from the drops

I am attempting more raindrops. Tell me what you think...please? Any constructive feedback would be wonderful! Thanks!

Admirable shot. Pine needles are so cooperative for this type of image.

I'm curious: Are these real or "set-up" raindrops? I was wondering if most people arrange their dew drop/raindrop photos by spraying their subjects or if they are actually taking advantage of the real thing.

Not that it makes a difference in the photo... I'm just asking for technical general photo improvement reasons. I wonder, Should I *make* my own opportunities ??

@ MacSmiley: These are actual raindrops, since I live near Seattle, the opportunity presents itself a lot. But I would say "yes", it is fine to make your own raindrops. No one would know the difference (unless you wanted to tell them). And it gives you the opportunity to shoot water photos when you don't have a reliable rain source.

@ l_inda_gail: Thank you! Your raindrop photos are so amazing, I am honored by your comment. :D

@ assquake9: Thank you for the fave!

Thank you, everyone, for your comments!

I agree with all the positive feedback here-- this is great!! You have nice depth and the refractions are very sharp. I haven't seen all the shots yet but my only suggestion is to also get in close on one of the drops since the refraction looks really interesting. But, then again, a lot of people shoot one drop close. This is unique.

Looks like I with the majority if the number of comments is a reflection of opinion on which of this little series is the best! A great detail shot - the green tones and the texture of the water surface are just wonderful.
