Artist Reply: Thank you very much Mike. This image has "grown on me" since I took it. It was one of those "should I or shouldn't I post it?" questions. Glad I decided to give it a go.
love the way the water reflects. Strange it is to me because where the drops are the fallen leave shows still its life... Great shot :)
Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your comment. I really didn't see the tinges of green until after seeing the image on my computer screen. I was very thrilled with the effect it adds.
I appreciate how each raindrop magnified different layers of the leaf and the dark line-wood background accentuates the leaf making a spectacular statement! Well done.
