Yes, I know that I said yesterday's PAD was the last Rain-x water drop for a while. However, my three day experiment with this technique that ended yesterday used the 105mm 1:1 macro lens throughout. I got curious about how the same shot would look using a wider lens. Now that I've done it, I may try one more day because the drops on this one seem to be too small.
This shot made it clear why the "pros" have assistants. Trying to get everything lined up and parallel meant looking through the viewfinder to see what needed fixed, crawling on my hands & knees to make an adjustment, back to the viewfinder, back on the floor - for about 10 cycles.

Ed: You continue to amaze me with diversity and impact. I tried a similar shot with a flag/glass/water drops, but I like yours better. The drops appear to be lined up in a row, evenly spaced. That to me is mysterious! I can appreciate this one very much.
