Here is one where all I did was add food color but it looks like a blood droplet. Pretty cool I think.

I usually try to be gentle in Post, but this time I just rammed up the contrast and brightness in Lightroom. This is about as sharp and as macro as I can get with my current equipment. I think it's good enough to explore an artistic side but no where near where I know I need to be.
