Thanks Chris for the compliment about composition. For the majority of my shots I use the crop tool to compose the shot. With the April showers shot, I place the crop tool around the edge of shot, and then use the grid it overlays to place the points of interest. The 2 prongs of the leaf in shot are on the two vertical lines, each are a 3rd of the shot. The droplet is placed almost on the intersection of the lines based on the rule of thirds.

Thank you gentlemen. The shot is at F16 and is a 50% crop using the Sigma 105macro. The leaf itself is only around 2inches long. And thanks Chris for the spelling compliment, without criticism we would never improve.

There are three things that I like, firstly the starburst effect a small aperture causes, secondly a back-lit leaf or plant and lastly the color red. I think I have caught all three here. This is the new foliage on the Acer bush in our garden after a brief April shower.

Top quality images as usual there, they seem to just jump of the page with an almost 3d like quality.

Have just watched this and thought it was very interesting, I love the end results, you have to admire the time and effort put into the shot or shots.
