Drip, drip, drip

Hey guys, it was raining here in Farnham today. It was the rain that 'gets you wet really quickly' and I know some of you know what I mean at least I hope so You know, the drizzly, poor attempt to break out in storm that just doesn't happen. Well, it was like that and I leaned out of my window and plucked a leaf from a bush outside. The leaf was covered in rain. At the time I was photographing for a studio project...so what I did was substituted the project subject for this leaf...

Here it is



Make sure you click the image to get it in full size with no pixelation.

Hope you like it

Nick

Nice pic, Nick. You have caught that just right. I like the way it caught the light. . . Seems like there IS always a photo opportunity, whatever the weather

Nice one Nick.
I know what you mean about being bored, I've been stuck in doors again, meaning I've been doing more of those water droplet type shots!
I've posted them on the close up thread, I hope you don't mind me posting them here as well.






Took me just about all day and hundreds of shots to get these two.

Re: Drip, drip, drip

Thanks for the kind comments guys. As you liked it, I decided to persevere and attempt a rather special image. This was my best attempt



Again, to see it in full quality, don't forget to click it to show the actual size

Nick

EDIT, just saw your photos Graham and they are simply stunning. Nearly fell off of me chair and everything Well done my man, top notch stuff as always.
