Water drop on leaf

Original - A drop of water on a leaf. The leaf is hydrophobic so the droplet forms into a spherical shape to reduce contact with the surface. The hydrophobic effect occurs when water excludes non-polar molecules.

I uploaded this picture I found on flickr to Commons about 3 1/2 years ago. I think it demonstrates the hydrophobic effect beautifully and am interested to see what everyone thinks of it as I am not a photography expert. I wrote the description myself but its a paraphrasing/re-iteration of material in the hydrophobic article as I'm not a science expert either.

• Compositionally its good. But the image quality is lower than I think would be expected for a repeatable shot like this. I suspect the saturation has also been turned up too much. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:01, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
  • To clarify, I don't think it'd pass FPC. It might do at VPC, the only thing is the high saturation. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:18, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
