at least you know what could be improved in the shot - that is the difference between people who are content with what they do and those who know they can do better. The latter type become more accomplished because of it. That is all i would say to improve this shot - get the drop completely in focus/dof. Fantastic image otherwise :)

Your teacher? Naaah! Youre making me blush, lol. First of all let me say this....AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! A dedi for me?? Aww! Thank you buddy!!! Second....youre not happy with this shot so therefor you decide to give it to me? Gee..thanks. LOL. Seriously Luis, i dont see how you can be anything but thrilled with this shot. Its so gorgeous. Simplicity at its finest!!!! And if you ask me, then i think that drop is in great focus. I think youre just being too hard on yourself, but that is also good....because that will only mean that you will keep pushing yourself. Do you focus manually? Autofocus can get weird results when dealing with water, but im sure you already know that. Anyhoo...bla bla bla...i better keep this short...i got cake to eat, lol. Thank you once again for helping making this day totally awesome! #:o)

A superb drop shot!! A beutiful gift to Andreas for his Birthday. Hugs to you both. Di.

Superb image......

This is a great shot! no doubt about it. The drop focused in a void hust before it lets go of the leaf... truly a capture in it's right meaning! great

I love the shot! The bigger drop, hangs waiting for the little one to catch up and give it the weight it needs to drop. Nothing is more important and so, needs not to be in focus. Thanks for sharing. BJ

Gentle and soothing drop. Good as is.

I agree...a lovely shot, look at the crispyness on the leaf! Not anything at all to be ashamed of here!! Well done! :)

You did a great job on your first drop-shot ! Bravo !

A stunning dedi to a fine photographer.... Ok about your photo now... I'm with andreas....... a stunning shot! I love is! so much that it's going to my favs.... but yeah ahh only thing I'd do different is use an appeture of about 9.0 if all thing like light permit... Ohter than that it's excellent... Oh and one last thing... focus on the outside and then let the smaller appeture capture the reflections inside ;) Excellent work though buddy! LOVE IT! and so does Andreas! :)

Lovely dedi to Andreas :)

Oh I love this... One of my first views of yours.... I personally would leave it as it is... Would love to capture an image like this... Perfect...this is going to my favs Hugs Susan~

I think this is gorgeous. The focus gives it a more liquid quality. Really takes you out into the rainy day.
