Just for some perspective, how big was that? And I'd like to know more about your technique. How many shots did it take to ge tthe right one?

It came out really nice though.

Here is a link to a photo which should show the original size...

I was using a tripod of course and a water sprayer to add some more dew and the rest you can read in my describing details I added to the photo.
I took 5 shots from several directions and places as it is a bit difficult to check the LCD for a result when you are almost at surface level...hope this helps!
Oh yes forgot, it was 5.30 am...the best light you get in the mornings and evenings...the sun is flattering and makes the colours so much better!
