Bnagladesh is a hot-humid country. Our monsoon lasts not less than 4 months. I have tried to frame a small detail of nature after rain.

Hi Ashik,
The droplets on green give the effect of sparkling jewels. The picture does remind me of the wetness below my feet! Nice image.

wow well said, 'wetness below my feet' - actually when i was shooting to the grass i was bare footed!

Hi Ashik,

Just be careful of going barefoot! There are ticks waiting to jump!

Did you use macro and a tripod? This is worth a great deal of more effort if you have the patience and get inspired! The challenge is to get the drop image with the highlights perfectly controlled. Then, within that perfect drop you'll see it acting as a lens to image what's in front of it. I think it's better to have an angle so that a hanging drop can catch the landscape and sky behind it.

Just something to think about. There can be so much hidden beauty in one drop!

I don't agree with you Asher.
I seen countless images with your exact parameters, and to be honest, it gets tiresome.
This one is actually a refreshing look in to (I assume) morning dew images. I recon Ashik will nail it with a little more practice. Is a great first effort, but a little more work is require to refine the vision.
In any case, Ashik is to be commended for thinking outside the usual box. well done indeed.

dear asher and ivan

hmm, ok i explain, what actually guides me through shooting.

since i am architect .... done lot of b..l sh...t on compositions. the ghost of
architectural composition often drives me out of photographic culture.

dear bosses i am still in the learning curve. hope you gonna spare my limitation.
