Nice one..

What a find

Cool, but I don't think I'd want to stand near that in a big wind storm!

Thank you all for your appreciative comments

where is this? i feel like i've seen it before

Lovely ... I particularly like the leaf on the left side ... all the drops are fascinating. It is like a little world all on one leaf!

Lovin this

NICE!!

Love the mood, it's like something from a fairytale.

I agree with the others ... it is a lovely photo ... very mystical and magic.

nice one -- really need to view hi res for the dew

great to see something other than flowers

think i'd have paid closer attention to the nails at this sort of closeness. i mean...a fresh coat of paint and perhaps some filing is in order.

I was trying to create a stronger contrast between the fingernail and the skin. The skin is by nature very smooth and nice looking, so you cannot really change that. Therefore, it's easier to make the nail to look more "out of it" than the skin, which is why I chose not to have the nails done to the best they could be.

I actually think the rough edge works very well in this shot. Nice capture

I know what you mean author, but to me its distracting from the skin which is the focus of the picture. Perhaps its my own peeve, and no one else is distracted by the nail, unfortunately for me my eye keeps looking at the nail. :P

I kind of agree with jadedink... it's very nice focus and lighting etc. ... but the nail is kind of freakin' me out

I agree with jakedink too
