Angle Shot vs. Straight Shot

 
I took this picture on September 25th at approximately 11:00 in the morning. I had my flash turned off, and the camera was on the macro setting.




The two images above were taken on September 25th at approximately 11:00 in the morning. The flash was off, and the setting was macro. I corrected the image directly above by changing the input and output on the curves menu, and changing the color balance by adding cyan, a little magenta, and a little tiny bit of yellow. I also enhanced the shadows a little bit on the shadows and highlights menu. I like this image a lot better because the water droplets really stand out more, and the colors of the leaves seem more saturated. The main subject is much more obvious, and the background isn't so cluttered.
