Hi..

This photo is taken when i was in Johor Bahru, at this sea-side place called Danga-Bay. The plant itself is on a water pond, where some yellow lights are located around the pond. This photo was taken at night, so it is very dark, and the only lighting came from those yellowish lights. The lighting is very limited, and i did not use my flash, because I like the "golden" color feeling from the lighting around.

This is my first try, taking this kind of water droplets on a leaf photo.. greatly inspired by ywho79's series of water droplets.

I used my Olympus C730, using the Aperture Priority Mode, and choosed F3.2, hoping that the leaf will 'shine-out' from the background.

Well, about the tittle, I can't think of any tittle for this photo, so i just put a song name that i like so much.

I do some minor cropping, and added a black frame.

Comments, critiques and workshops are welcomed.

I like this photo and hope you like it too.

very good golden color of the leaf and the droplets....good DOF! i like it...

Thong,

F/3.2 a good choice! Now only the center part and also the biggest droplet is sharp and clear! nice DOF.

I visited Danga Bay when I was in JB this year too. It's a nice place for a romantic walk. Can't say the same about the food though..

Great details... can even see the "veins" on the leaf. The golden colour I thought at first to be a postprocess effect, but good to hear its natural.

really nice colors and contrast, great job !

really look like a gold leaf to me. like a blessing from above....i don't think i make sense but i feel bliss fr the photo. and yes, danga bay is nice and romantic....the lighting's great!
