bouquet in a drop

Those reflections are beatiful !!

I'm always tickled when the flower in the waterdrops also appears in the bokeh-background. Waterdrop photos always look much better viewed large. click here to see 'bouquet in a drop' On Black

Paddy Furlong says:

What I said last time, only more so. This man has to be STOPPED, people. He is a MACHINE! Never a shake. Never a dodgy bit of focus. Not satisfied with getting a refractive drop, he goes on to get ...count 'em ...Nine, I make it, nine of them! Oh, but does he stop there? No way, he's looking out for the background bokeh, the heartbreaking blend of gorgeous colours, the neat neat frame....I HATE STEVE WALL!

I think this photo is currently #10 on Explore on September 1st - Congratulations!
And it surely deserves all the attention it got. You are right, the flowers inside the drops appearing also in the background of the shot make your composition fascinating. I like the way the drop bouquet is dominated by that purplish colour while the yellow is stronger in the bokeh. That makes for a good colour balance and justifies the tag "goldsturm" entirely. You created pure beauty in this photo, Duke!

Victor Geere [deleted] says:

I sometimes imagine that somewhere in those drops there is a reflection of the other drops, reflecting the first drops, reflecting some more drops, yet there are enough photons to continue reflecting reflections infinitely in a fractal of dimensions in a singular moment in time.

...other times I just go "whaaooow...", like now.
