I'm ecstatic by your comment, Olaf!!!! :-) In response to your question: Yes, it was naturally lit only, no artificial lighting or flash was used. A little touch-up (cropping, plus slightly increased contrast) and that's it. cheers, Vera.

Of all the droplet-type shots so far, this is my favourite! Why? The diagonal composition, the differently sized droplets with the big one as the focal point (center of interest) being off-centre and the great magnification of the shot. I also love the magnifying-glass effect of the big droplet! I know this comes by the nature of macro shooting, but I also love the selective focus. Great stuff!!! I have one question: Lit by natural light only? --Olaf

Beautiful macro Vera... guess we all go through a bout of macro mania but not all of us come up with such great results. ;-) ................ Vikas
