Default interesting effect on water drops

Here is an original shot......the shots following have been perhaps cropped, but as far as coloration, they have not been modified except to do two things. I slid the darkness control slider all the way to the left and adjusted contrast......the blue coloration came from darkening the shot......I don't even know how to mess with colors in pp. Thought they came out rather interesting

Very cool water droplet effects, & I love the leaf colors too, almost aqua, gorgeous. Wonderful shots, I do love the effects you've captured.
