While I love most of your work, and these are technically great. I just don't like these. Rather than showing the natural beauty of nature, these shots always seem like staged studio shots to me.

Where I live, dew is usually evenly dispersed along a stem, or the largest drop will settle at the bottom end of a sagging blade. Seeing the large drop on the top tip just doesn't seem natural. Maybe I am just not observing closely enough though.

Thanks for looking and commenting everybody - much appreciated.

Keith - understand these are not for everybody but they are completely natural dewdrops- only thing I do is put a flower behind them sometimes.

Wow.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
