OK, not sure how well this fits the theme, but I thinkthis is a bit better than the rosehips shot.

Really nice devleopment of the idea, love the burst of sunlight off the middle drop and again you have managed to get the tree refracted in the water drops.

Actually, at 300mm, and only 6' or so from the subject, DOF is quite shallow on this lens, even at f8. See the originals gallery for the same cane taken w the 12-60mm showing the tree in the background that is not evedent here.

I love the tiny inverted trees reflected in these droplets! And the focus is incredibly sharp. This is a lovely image. The burst of light in the center of the droplet parade gives it extra magic.

Well, as an image, I really like the focus and composition. I really like how the drops present an inverted world. At F8.0, if there were reference points behind and infront of this image i think will reveal a not so shallow DOF. Good try though.
