Pretty dof colors. The branch right behind the little birds head is a tad distracting.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
Knew it wasn't good enough before submission, but I fell in love with this one over all the 400 other shots I took.
The stubborn streak in me decided to enter it still, even knowing the imperfections.
In deleting the others today, I am no longer blinded and see shots which would have better appreciated.
Way too funny !LOL!

this is a good entry that meets the challenge well. Only real problem is its out of focus. And a tighter crop putting the droplets at thirds would lead the eye from the leaf to the droplet.

Comment by bassbone:
good concept for a shallow dof shot - but the image appears to lack from any sharp focus anywhere

This feels fairy-like to me, perhaps try with the subject a little more in focus for more pow! factor.

This is a really neat shot, although focus seems a bit soft.

I like the point that I think you are making. Frustrated with water droplet shots? I like, though it's not quite sharp on the droplets that are the main subject, and I think they may be too centered.
