I really like the first shot, but I'm still undesided on the second one.

the second one stood out to me, the first drip shot I think ill have a deeper focus next time to avoid blurred spots inthe leaf of subject.

Perhaps for the first one, as an alternate view, focus on just the water drop and the leaf that it's on......perhaps just the first 1/4 to 1/2 of the leaf. That way it fills more of the frame and becomes more of the focus of the picture......Which I guessing was the idea.

.......Just an idea anyways. ;)

I was limited to my focal length.. would like to get a tele converter to try much closer shots. thanks
