@Lorraine: Thank you Lorraine!
Nice greens. I love the felling of depth in the droplets. Highlights on one side and shadows on the other. Nice job.

@HorseRotorVator: Thanks HR!
JEN!! Jen Jen Jen Jen.... THIS IS SO FANTASTIC!! The colour is so ALIVE (I know cliche..) and the water droplets are so clear. With this leaf against that wee bit of black it just POPS!! My soul sista... FANFREAKINTASTIC back at ya!!
PS. I think what Dan is referring to is that with what you did in PS the image has a bit more, I think, noise? Personally, I find this adds a depth to the image.. more junk in the trunk... it's like a tangible texture.. My RAVE review still stands!!!!!

@Amy: Thank you so much...thank you never seems like enough after your F bombs ; ) I was trying to get the green to pop and get a shimmer/glimmer on the drops...if that makes any sense. Maybe I pushed the contrast a bit, but I really feel like you..."junk in the trunk" is good (yeah like I don't have enough already LOL) and a realistic feel instead of a flat image.
Other than the black background, to me your PP on the centreal image itself is invisble - the way it should be (unless you're going for that kind of overt statement). Nice work!

@Ken McCoy: Overt statement...yeah that's it!! I was trying to get the image to become more 3D I suppose...like you could reach out and touch the droplets...experimenting can be fun!
Nice work Jen. I am very impressed with the quality of your p-processing.

@Viewfinder: Thank you...but honestly I am a true novice with pp work, when I have time I play around and see what I can come up with...most of my images are very simple adjustments. speaking of time...I took a new job and the commute is MUCH better so hopefully I will have more family time and of course photo time ; ) Thanks VF I always appreciate your visits and encouraging comments!!
Beautiful, refreshing image. Great PP!!!
