 Straight shot (RAW), Resize, USM, Velvia Vision +40%, Neat Image. Unoriginal I know, but it was (hopefully) better than nothing.

One taken from my super mega cheap Cosina 100-400mm lens.

Last moment entry after I realised that I took this shot within the challenge timeframe.

too blurry to warrant enough consideration of a higher score. I am sure your effort was of the top notch though.

I like the soft focus for the leaves, but the droplet should be clearer.

I start out seeing the background. I think 'no problem, I'll just look at the bit that's in focus.' Then I look some more. 'Aha,' I think, 'the subject blade of grass is in focus.' But it's not. 'Then that tiny little drop in the center of the picture is in focus, surely.' But it's not. Then I start to wish the photographer had just let the drop fall and gotten everything out of focus.

Very nice, some more focus and sharpness on the drop would have even made it better.

Awesome shot but I believe the focus could have been a bit sharper. Close to perfect. If that drop was tack-sharp I would have giving this a 9 or 10
