Thanks, I used the setup outlined in the article that you'd linked to in the challenge thread. I had only just started experimenting when I ran out of light. I left everything as it was on my kitchen floor and unfortunately by the time I got back to it my bouquet had died. This was the best shot I got in that first sitting. I definitely want to experiment more with this technique in the upcoming winter months since it's easy to do inside. I did have to pick up a set of close up filters in order to end up with something that I could work with. The native macro capabilities in the R1 aren't up to capturing something as small as a single water droplet.

Beautiful shot - I love the way the flowers looks like they are stuffed inside the drop! That's a really excellent reflection.
