It's amazing how these two droplets stay on the plant... you wouldn't think the water tension was strong enough.
I love the way the two main droplets look like little balls of liquid grass.

I hope you like it.

There is a very strong cohesion between the H2O molecules, Joe... and the ball shape is about the strongest shape in nature. Plus... the "hairs" on the plant provide a firm grip for the drops.
The reflections in these drops is terrific indeed.
Well done, TFS

Hola Joe,

sensacional macro y detalles,
saludos

Hello Joe!
Beautiful drops!
Nice colors, nice macro!
Well done!
Zorica

Thats awesome to capture those amzingly clear reflections in little droplets.
This is the ort of macro you see in books on how to do macros.
I think the final master touch is controlling the brightness of the flash reflection so that isn't too big or OE.
Excellent work Joe.

Hi Joe!
Very good macro shot!Crispy detail with just great blured(I like it)background.
Well taken!
Cheers.
Cezar

Hi Joe,
very well done, excellent focus and brilliant colours. Drops with grass inside are also my favourite motives, I have hundreds of those shots on my computer - so I'm happy to see one of another member, thanks and greetings

Ooooo...kurcze! Udalo mu sie osiagnac ostrosc w kropli rosy. Probowalem tego wiele razy ale takiego efektu nie uzyskalem.
Chyle czolo. Oj bede probowal, bo posiadam aparat z taka sama optyka (S5 IS). Ale czy to osiagne?
Pozdrawiam Witek

That is soooo cool Joey. I love to play with light and water reflections and all that stuff...butI cut my teeth on TN and my creative mind has to switch gears for shots here..Very good though..so if I cannot do it then I shall leave it to you!

This is a spectacular and very arty shot Joe. I don't think it could be better, the reflections on the water droplets are amazing and the fine detail on the plant is excellent. Wonderful well saturated colour with perfect dof. All pristine sharpness.

Hello Joe.
I thought here on treklens only Sabine, could make pictures like this.
Something in my mind tells me that i have seen it before, Did you also post on Ephotozine? Or in the past here on TL ?
Gorgeous, anyhow.
Jan

I love the tight composition and the hair-sharp details!
You are certainly getting lots of use out of that macro lens
