A few more rain drops

Given the recent wet weather I have been making the most of the short dry bits in between showers.
One of the wet days featured that thin, persistent drizzle that soaks everything and produces big droplets on spider webs ....

Good ideas here .... I find No 3 the most effective, with its brightness and shiny sharp drops catching attention, plus there's a good gradation between the green and red areas of the background.

No 4 is technically challenged, with noise and rampant fringing ....Could you have got away with a smaller aperture and a lower ISO? Perhaps without a tripod things were on the edge!

I agree with Nigel, No. 3 is the outstanding one here for me. Full marks for taking advantage of the weather, you're certainly not just a fair weather photographer.

I do like Nigel's tactful, "technically challenged"! I think it's a bit naff too but I liked the solitary string of sharp ones running through the middle of it all. I had to use the zoom because there is a pond between me and it, hence the noise due to cropping the original.

Lovely set... particularly like no.4... lovely composition - a tad "technically challenged", but super idea...

Best
