I am really not sure if this would be treated a cliche and rated low. I wanted to make the good use of my Macro lens and at the same time keep up my average. I also took some shots for the Color on color challenge, with which I am not completely satisfied in terms of sharpness. Hoping that this would work better.

There is a lot of detail here which is great but I think there is too much going on between the magnifying dropplet, the loos feather pieces and the tight ones, I would have liked a focus on just one aspect of this photo.

I'll take a wild guess and say this is Irenes. Very nice as usual. Only nitpick is the the transition from sharp to blur on the left side of the stem. It doesn't look natural like the right side does.

I really like the effect of the drop... crazy shallow d.o.f.
