Dewly Butterfly!!
It was my longtime wish to make the images of the 'dewly butterfly' ! The winter mornings of Bangalore are at their best now!
Made this image today morning at T.G.Halli.
I have used 3 light sources here - LED, slight fill flash(built in) and ofcourse the Sun for back lighting! ;)

My first attempt to capture the beauties. Love to know your thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

D300, Sigma 180mm, LED, compensated built-in flash

You have got it bang on in the very first attempt. Superb use of the light source. A very simple and effective presentation too.
Wish you had avoided the grass blade in the bg.

Ashwin, This is beautiful. Good control of DoF and I liked the BG tone specially here and magic droplets.

Very beautiful. I feel you should have also tried yellow light for lighting the droplets instead of Flash. Some more reason to chill out ;)

wonderful exposure and dof that brings out jewels so nicely. nice composition too; however, i feel there is a scope for improvement in composition.

thank you for sharing. regards.
