Can't fault this, I love the focus on the bead of water, the composition, the specular highlights in the bokeh are gorgeous, well done! Get it entered into the green competition!

Behind The Lens
Location
My home front lawnTime
Early morning just as the sun hit the lawnLighting
All natural lighting. The sun had just started to come over the horizon and hitting the grass bladesEquipment
Canon EOS 600D Camera with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens. Towel to lie on the wet grass(ha ha)Inspiration
The early morning dew is always heavy in our valley home. But you add that splash of early morning sun and you get a magical experience. It's like seeing all little diamonds sparkling over the grass. The big questions is which grass blade do you choose?Editing
Just a little cropping.In my camera bag
Camera, Lens hood, battery plus one spare, memory card plus one spare, a couple of lenses - depending where I am shooting and what I plan to shoot. Spare filter.Feedback
Be prepared to get down and dirty (actually WET). Lay on the grass a low as you can to be at the same height as the grass.
