very nice work. the green in the leaves looks really stellar and rich with that black background. there are some really good shadow in the leaves that give it added character with their already great textures and veins. nice work with the droplets and i really like how you composed the leaves in this shot. rad work.

that's awesome!! It looks as if the leaves are floating in *space*
and the drops look beautiful, I love how you can see the light shining through them from the other side

And nice lyrics too...Finch - Ender.

wow, how'd you do this? i love every aspect of this- from the lighting, to the composition, to the droplets of water. i love your use of the black background, and how it contrasts with the leaves. you've captured the leaves beautifully. there's so much clarity and detail. i really like this shot!

Thank you very much! It was a relatively simple setup... black visual diary, water, leaves, lamp...

I'll kill you!!! I shot a same motive (even the plant's the same!) a month ago and was thinking how to Photoshop it, upload it and stuff... And then you go and do it before me!
Ah, well, yours is better anyway.
You did a great job here. The background really makes the leaves stand out, and the contrast on the drops gives the excellent depth. The composition is interesting, and the lighting is great, and the title suits the piece perfectly. There's nothing here I don't like. Deserves a +fav, like most of your work.

Heh, maybe I'll post mine, but I haven't got the time right now to post-process it and remove the background and stuff (I don't know if you did that here or you shot it in a studio, but I shot mine outside and the background is very uninteresting)...
And you're welcome, it really looks great.

Oh my ... this is so beautiful. Water has got to be my most favourite thing in the whole world ... and seeing it so fragile like this is nearly breathtaking. The light reflecting in the droplets and the distorted view of the leaves through them is wonderful. I just love this.
By the way, did you write that verse in your description?
