Nice timing. What would really send this shot over the top is if you were to put little aperture stars around the highlights in the droplet.

The tap may be calcified, but the reflections in the drip are perfect!

I get worried when people agree with me.

Hmm... I didn't think the title referred to the the calcification (CLR would take care of that in a second, btw) but to the drip--after all the title wasn't "Time to clean the tap."
The drip itself is very nice and sharp and the lighting is perfect to get the great reflection.
I agreed with Anna in that the dirty tap detracts from the shot. And my feigned reluctance to agree with her was just some good-natured teasing about kitchen cleanliness, men and women.
I hope some of the others got that from my first comment, I seem to be having difficulty communicating today :)

Thanks Victor, yes that's really what I was getting at. The drop is very clear but it was only when I looked at the pic that I realised just how calcified the tap was! I did clean it a bit later, but couldn't get a drop as good! Phil

But the title says, "time to fix the tap". The tap is not really dirty. It's full of calcifications. That's what's causing the drip in the first place. At least that's the way I see the picture. The result is a stark contrast between the absolute perfection and clarity of the water and the scruffiness of the tap. -- Victor

I hate to have to agree with Anna telling Phil to clean his kitchen...but I do :) Nice shot, Phil.

Beautiful focus on the waterdrop. You can see your kitchen tiles in it. This would be even nicer if that tap was sparkling clean. So that some oof reflection can be seen on it.
