[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my favorite dew drop so far. I did not like the reflection of light off of the dew on the small branch and was not sure how to diminish it.

Everything is upside down in the drop because we are seeing a "refraction" instead of a "reflection". I did a quick internet search and found this:
A reflection would show the scene behind the photographer as well as the image of the photographer him- or herself. A refraction, on the other hand, is an image of the scene on the far side of the drop from the photographer and is inverted because of the spherical nature of the drop and the way in which its curved surfaces bend the rays of light. (A clear glass ball also refracts an upside-down image of that which is on its far side from the observer.)"
