It's a great and deserving shot Danny.

But who decided the Mods were the arbiters of the good and great around here?

I thought their function was somewhat more pedantic ?

What humber said. Essentially. The great unwashed interweb citizenry who are on the boards electoral roll of a userbase. That's who

Danny - this is mighty and a very deserving winner. Well done.

For everyone - The click through on the image will show some context from where it came if you didn't catch it the first time around.

Thanks everyone and those who "voted". I'm taking so few photos these days I feel a bit of a fraud.

The datails of the shot are on my blog here.

Just to add to what is there. I wasn't going to bring the camera at all as I need exercise more than I need to take photos but brought the camera and just the 100mm macro anyway.

I noticed one morning a couple of years ago, when I got the macro first, that after a fog the foliage , plants and grass are covered in millions of tiny droplets. These are often invisible to the naked eye. Well worth looking out for. There was a time when I questioned the value of 21 megapixels but as the photo shows it gives such scope for cropping it is worth having now and again.

Any more questions just ask
