#477Dew Drops on Leaf

A macro of dew beaded on a leaf. The surface is procedural — a curved midrib, chevron lateral veins, mottled cells and a waxy sheen — and every droplet is a little plano-convex lens: it magnifies and flips the veins behind it, bends harder at the rim, throws a bright catch-light toward the light and drops a soft contact shadow. The beads drift and roll on their own; move the pointer to herd them, scroll to pile on gravity so they fatten and sag, press to jiggle them loose.
