I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to post this water droplet which reminds me of a bull’s eye and here it is: The eye theme!

Upon search on google I found this:
Eyes

BULL'S-EYE or BULL'S EYE (blz)
n.
1.
a. The small central circle on a target.
b. A shot that hits this circle.
2.
a. A direct hit: scored a bull's-eye on the window with a snowball.
b. The precise accomplishment of a goal or purpose: "With his overflowing style, [he] almost always hits the bull's-eye of universality" William Zimmer.
3. A thick, circular piece of glass set, as in a roof or ship's deck, to admit light.
4. A circular opening or window.
5.

Very good composition, Lurdes! Very good addition to the theme. I like the bokeh of the background.
Cheers!
Freddie :)

Hi Lurdes,

Marvelous macro and good info.
At first sight I thought about the eye of an insect or iguana.
Excellent work.

Hi Lurdes,
Very original way to exploite the theme. Excellent PP work. The contrasting colors work so nicely! Bravo! Annie

Hi Lurdes,
Your picture is beautiful from many points of view, among which the sharpness, light and colors.
However, I would have preferred another type of framing, maybe black (even if less original... :-)).
Have a great weekend,
Bea

Hi Lurdes,

I did not pay much attention, but next weeks theme is (I think) natures abstract - seems that this one would also fit right in there as well!
Lovely artwork and colours - glad you did not show the real bulls eye - this is much prettier.

Ola Lurdes

A wonderful macro of the water droplet, which does indeed resemble a bullseye. Fantastic colour & dof. Tfs!

Olá Lurdes

Adoro isso, é só dar uma boa chuva por aqui, que eu corro para a floresta, para conseguir estas maravilhas.
Pasmado com a beleza e nitido gota de cristal que está.
Seu Bg em azul realçou ainda mais a gota.
Belíssimo trabalho e compo!
Parabens
