This image is a raindrop ready to fall from the tip of a sunflower leaf. If you look closely at the water, you can see more sunflowers. There was a slight breeze and goldfinches that made the scene bounce around during shooting. K5 IIs 180 mm f3.5 + polarizer (0.6 sec at f18, ISO 125) Levels, crop for comp, Brightness & Contrast..................Jim

Jim, an outstanding look at this single drop. So many times the view through the drop comes with a blown sky. In this case, you've got a nice band of blue along the top. The clarity of the image through the drop is great.

Excellent macro shot of this droplet, Jim! I love taking shots like this, as with the eye you can't see the reflections/defractions all that well, but on the screen we are amazed. Well done.

Cool picture Jim! I might suggest cropping in a little closer and use HDR effect that some additional clarity to the reflection. Keep the good work
