Speechless....

 

[Brian Moore]

Double-speechless!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Meh...


Only kidding...triple-speechless

 

[Pete Askew]

Speechless also, but luckily I can still type! Gorgeous Nihat. I love the composition (something so rare in a macro image where content is so often king) and the depth of field is just right to present the upper leaves with their droplets without them losing focus over their length. The lighting is also just right to illuminate the droplets against the leaves. How did you light the shot?

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Not speechless, simply a master at work, it looks as if you where no where else but there.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you very much, Peter, Brian, Rob.

Thank you very much, Pete. This was with natural morning light right after sun showed its smile. Most of my work was done with no artificial lighting or even a reflector. Best time was early in the morning when dew and saturation of colours are at its best, preferably with some fog to diffuse the harsh light for 9-10 am images, and San Francisco Bay Area is perfect for that.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you very much for your kind words, Julian.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Mmmm Velvia 50 goodness - wonderful detail to match the saturated colors

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you, Chris.

 

[Lesley Jones]

Oh yes! Veliva certainly loves nature with its greens and blues, but I also agree with Pete. The composition and DOF are simply perfect

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you, Lesley.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Stunning...absolutely stunning Nihat.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you, Glenn. I'll keep digging the last century's stuff.

Infinite moments of sublime, never seen by human eye, once in a while a human eye just by chance or was it chance does see, eye heart of the seer captured enraptured.
