Thanks and the water droplets are on the very fine tip of a CACTUS leaf which is more sturdy then a leaf, so the leaf is actually quite small which is what I was trying to capture with a bluried background..

very nice! the bright blue in the water drops are a nice contrast to the background. I guess a critique would be to work on the background a bit? I know it's supposed to look blurred but it could do with some more finishing, especially as you gave the drops so much attention..

David!!!!!!!! this is an amazing, amazing,amaaaaaazing job!!! the reflection on the drops, are beautifull... My only comment is... try to take more time in the background,... the background is as important as the main image... thats all.
congratulations!!! im your fan!

Thanks! Seeing these kind of comments from such a great artist really gives me some confidence. Greatly appreciated :) and yes looking back I probably should have spent more time on the background or at least give it a lighter saturation so it doesnt stand out so much
