Shown above is water captured as it is dripping off of a leaf. The effect of this “teardrop” can be attributed to a combination of surface tension, adhesion, and gravity.

Big leaves that channel water to the tip always look super cool!
I love how peaceful this picture is. I think you did a really nice job with the focus highlighting the droplet.
I like how crisp the main leaf and droplet are in this picture. Great photo!
The focus on the droplet is fascinating. I love how the viewer’s attention is drawn to the drop through the shape of the leaf and the framing of the image.
I think your subject matter is gorgeous, and I love your framing!
I really liked how you ended up focusing on the front leaf while blurring the rest of the background. This allows me to focus my attention on the water droplet.
I really the enjoy the use of focus in your image. Also like how the drop of water reflects other parts of the image.
I really like the way the focus of the photo only on the fluid dynamics.
This is a nice simple pretty photo. The shallow depth of field lets the leaf and droplet stand out and the image in the droplet is cool.
In regards to you question, I believe that the framing is spot on. Having the drop off center makes for a nice composition.
I like how crisp the focus is on the droplet, with a great amount of lighting that makes it peaceful to look at.
Awesome photo! the water droplet is very mesmorizing!
I really like your choice of aperture. The droplet in focus with the blurred background looks really nice. Even though the background isn’t monochromatic, the droplet is still in focus.
I like how you chose to blur the background so that we can focus on the droplet rolling off the leaf!
