Very nice, but the holes in the leaf on the left are distracting.

Water drops are always fun.....watch the blown spots, they distract me from the subject.
Keep shooting!!

Thanks for all the comments and critiques. I don't find the imperfections in the leaf or the bright spots distracting at all.

I like this image... a lot, but I agree it could use some clearing up. You state "NOT OK to edit", but may I have one-time permission to clean it up & post, just to show you what we mean?

Sure no problem. I could clean it up, but I'm kinda old school and I'm definitely not a perfectionist, there are times when I think natural imperfections add to a photo. I've already sold several prints of this shot.

Blown out spots aren't natural but if you like them, that's all that matters.

Thanks. I played with taking out some of the blown out areas, but I agree... I like it a little better with them in, but the holes & specs were definitely distracting (to me, at least).

A great idea....hmm, now where did I put that macros lens....

Thanks Phranquey, nice job.

nice shot! I like the blown highlights, and think that they add to it. The edited version is definitely smoother.. I prefer it. Nicely done too!

Nice shot!

I liked the original shot as it was. But after looking at the edited one I have to say the edited version is better!
