The artist formerly known as Prince would be proud. Nice job.

Good macro attempt, focus seems a little bit in front of where it should be?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 11:12:33 AM
I can't help but think of the Prince song when I read the title "Purple Rain"

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:32:53 PM
soothing colors, wish your bubble was in sharper focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:32:00 PM
Wow, tight depth of field! if you could have gotten the focus around the whole rain-drop I think that might have been better. At least if you'ld gotten the bright reflection in focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I find it hard to like waterdrop photos anymore, but this is a good one. I spent some time trying to figure out what was reflected in the drop. Is that a light? I like that I can see some texture refracted in the water.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:10:05 PM
Beautiful colors and a nice DOF
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:45:13 PM
I think the drop should have been a little clearer/sharper
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A water drop on a feather....classic DPC
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:15:59 PM
I love how water beads work like magnifying lenses. And how this one picks up the detail of the feather.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:03:51 PM
wow, this is beautiful
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:01:31 PM

That's very pretty. Nice work!

Good color. Would liked to have seen the drop a tad sharper for greater effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:16:00 PM
Great macro shot, nice DOF and focus on the waterdrop.

Nice macro, the drop look prefect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:09:17 PM
Love the fullness of the color and the bokeh really helps focus me on the water droplet. Lovely diagonal as well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:11:58 PM
Great clear macro. Very hard to keep those pesky light sources out of the droplets! Still love it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:36:57 PM
Pretty.. could be sharper and without the blown spots inside the drop to be perfect.

The focus isnt quite there
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:56:31 PM
Odd how the droplet is on the plane of focus, yet seems to be out of focus because of the way it bends the lines and shapes around.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:25:40 AM
If only rain was that colourful normally :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:31:35 AM

Great title. The droplet lacks a bit of sharpness.
