Joni, I have not seen texture and detail come to life like this in waterdrop shots before.
These are brilliant, vibrant and so crisp I can almost feel the drops.
The visual sense is spilling over to just about all the other senses with these images.
Amazing work sir.
Thanks for sharing them.

Quite simply stunning. Makes me feel fresh and crisp like the focus.
You're a great ambassador for the D-FA 100/2.8 macro. It's good to see it works so well in combinations as well. Very exciting work.

I agree with Ash Joni. Some of the best dew shots I have seen on any forum. Great processing work too. JIM

Thanks MSD! Only #2 is shot with 100mm. Other two photos are taken reversed 50mm lens attached to extension tubes.

I know there is more than enough photos of dew drops in the world but it's fun to shoot these kind of photos once in a while. And I think that's the most important thing.

Beautiful captures! You have good sense for the light, bravo!

Edit to add: I have ventured to your Photoblog and website. Your images are simply fantastic and you are really talented for "painting with light". My hat off to you - I think I will purchase some of your prints.
All the best!
