This is from a couple of weeks ago after an early morning rain. This is about a 75% crop of the original image. I used a 75-300 lens with stacked extension tubes and closeup lens to get close enough. Think I need a macro lens?
PS - either my monitor needs calibrated again or posting to the form, but this is darker than the orginal...sorry for that.

David, neat capture. I bet you can see what is reflecting in the water droplet in you large file.

This image is definitely to the point, David - simple, but effective. Nice job!

The reflections in the water drop make the shot. Nice....

Nice work David. I really like the blue sky reflection in the drop and the simple, effective composition. I might crop this to square from the left to put the drop in a power point, but that's just me. Good to see you posting.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I think the blue in the water drop is the reflection from the blue cap I was wearing at the time. Thanks everyone.
