In overall, this is a lovely macro shot, nice focus on the droplets, well blended color and soft background. I love it! especially the beautiful backlit! ^^
Well, if you want, there're still rooms for improvement. Have you heard about the rule of third? [link] . People' eyes will normally look start from the left and end at right, since the grass is the only subject in this photo, you can place it at one-third from the right. Also move camera higher to see top of the grass, and tilt the screen a little bit to see it more "curve".
Small grass moves fast even when there's just tiny wind. In this case, I recomended never ever ever ever use a flash ._. It would ruin your photo right away. Here I found a useful tut to avoid camera shake in dark conditions: [link]
It's still a good photo, indeed
I have heard of the rule of thirds. I try to remember it, but am not always successful and it isn't an automatic thing for me (yet). And thank you so much for taking the time to view this and give me those wonderful tips and links!
It's okay if you're not used to the rule of third yet, anything takes time. Goodluck
LOL! Sadly, Macro doesn't get any special treatment as far as photograpphy goes.
If it isn't the slight breezes making everything moving in & out of focal range WAAAAAAAY too fast, it's lighting issues.
It doesn't help any when just like adding a 2X TeleConvertor to a zoom lens doubles the f/stop, most of the methods to increase the magnificatation level also lowers the light gathering capabilities.
Cranking up the ISO or Aperture/Shutter speed manipulations are very limited compensation methods. The first increases the shot's level of chroma/contrast noise (some camera's much worse than others). The other 2 are trade offs- lowering f/stops reduces an already narrow DOF or drop the shutter till it's so slow, motion blur becomes inevitable.
I thoroughly enjoy Macro shots done with natural light. but there are times where using a flash becomes the only real option.
