really nice image. only things i would have changed are the removal of that black spot, and bringing the droplet more into focus. i'm not sure if it was out of focus or the shutter speed was too slow. looks like it was pretty fast though. next time pay more attention to what is in focus. sometimes its hard when you are trying to capture a very specific moment in time, but it's important in making the subject of your image stand out.

Mike,
Thanks for the feed back. I had a tough time getting the camera NOT to focus on objects in our backyard (reflected in the drop!). The black spot is debris in the ice....not savy enough yet to 'clone(?)' it out....
Thanks again!
