Wow Starling these are gorgeous photographs. The water drops are so clear. I think the second one is my favourite, I love the lens flare on that one. But all of them are excellent. This is great work Starling, Well done.

Dave.

These are wonderful. I particularly like the second one with the sun spot on it.

All three of those are very good! The third is my favorite. I like the curl on the branch and the sun rays in the drop.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the comments and the encouragement!

Dawn-Marie: I didnt use a macro lens.. (I don't even know what that is.. but I'm learning :] ) I have just a regular point and shoot digital camera that is my mom's. It was extremely difficult to focus on the water drop... ha but it is actually a dream of mine to capture a super cool bubble picture! I just need some bubbles lol
