Macro water drops on picnic table

water drops on picnic table · **2 Likes**

Very little PP. Droplet appears green because of tree canopy above picnic table reflecting into water droplet. No colour manipulation, just a bit of play with the contrast and range.

that's interesting. It looks like it was a selective color feature. It's a cool take on making and image that looks like it was photoshopped without postprocessing.

Thank you. There's a bit of fringing, which I'm still tempted to edit out. Maybe it's my film shooting attitude - I don't like to photoshop much!

I like that you can still see the grain in the table. The droplets almost look like you could peel them off

the color contrast in the drops really makes this a special shot...nice capture...you mention the fringing....and possibly fixing it...is that an easy fix in photo shop?

Yes, Quite easy. I'm sure there's a few ways to do it, but I would probably use the colour replacement tool. Bit time consuming, but not hard to do. Thanks for your kind comments.
