Nice shot I like the focus being on the raindrops, it fits the theme well and I have no problems with it, I even think the border goes well!

I very nearly voted for this as I love the lighting and the background, it really makes the leaves look vibrant and it's a good sharp image too. No negative critique from me on this one!

However I voted for DD I like the cobwebs in the light and the tiny hairs and delicate details that probably wouldn't been seen had this been lit any other way, and it's got green in it!
I like the effort you put in.

I knew my lavender was not enough green, but I took it on the weekend and I thought it was still a good photo. I voted for Look Up, as I liked the perspective.

Up: Lupin Leaf.

I almost voted for this. I like the lighting, aside from the shadow on the one side. Something needed to be moved out of the way.

Down : To Church

Lots of green, the subject, if anything, is the church and not the greenery.

A little late again with my Ups & downs, but before I do I must congratulate Chris on an excellent photo, IMO there was only going to be one winner.

Up Kerry's Green a very good entry, lovely greens and I love the raindrops, close to getting my vote, but as I've already mentioned Chris produced a stunner.

Down Doneros entry, has he has already stated to much lavender and not enough green.

Thanks Harry, appreciate ya comments. A lucky shot at the right time of day. Im trying to learn about light as it is, to me, one of the most important parts of photography

Thank you for the vote. Well done to DD. It was close between backlit flower and shades of green. I went with shades of green only because I thought it was more suiting the word greenery as in multiple.

Up - Lavender
Very nice shot but not greenery enough for me to suit theme. The most bottom left flower looks strange although it looks typical of something that was moving way faster then the rest when the shutter was released. Without heavy PS this can't really be helped so I think it would have been better cropped out.

Down - Shade of green
Perfect to the theme I thought. Great shot. Some greenery shots can look boring with just green everywhere but this picture has much more to entertain you.

I wasn't looking forwards to the water drop comp but an idea has excited me and the old master weekend one is good as I love playing in PS.
