drops 03

Artistry at its best, both from the photographer and the maker of all things.

To me this picture is the epitomy of nature's perfect imperfection. There is never absolute symmetry, equal size or equal distance between the droplets, but that's what makes it alive and real. And if one strived to recreate this in CG form, it would look too neat, too regular, too perfect. This is what I call the perfect imperfection of nature: it never does the same thing twice or exactly the same.

I love the multiple shades of green and yellow, the complex pattern of the leaf, and also the heptagons created by the light reflections (another example of "perfect imperfection") and especially the way the focus here is on the drops.

Congratulations on capturing this masterpiece so brilliantly!
