For me that is Amazing everytime I try to get one of these shots the close up goes nuts on the background instead of the droplet.

Very nice and nice PP too

Dont you just love these! I know that when I try there are so many I dont like. But, that ONE that does trun out is well worth the effort.
Yours is just fine, dont sell yourself short

Very Nice, Did you add the Starburst PPing? or is it just a lucky aberation?
In any case it's a Wonderful shot!

The starburst is a bonus! These are hard to get...I have taken many like this and most do not turn out.....this is very nice and is certainly a keeper
