This is a very beautiful photograph. What are the drops on? Is it a leaf?

I love your comment about equipment too. Too many people get hung up on what they have or dont have or want, etc. A photographer mentioned to me one time that Ansel Adams took all of his work with equipment much less advanced than what we have. There are things that are required and necessary, optional and good to have, etc

Thanks, Steve. I'd say 85-90% of a good photo/image is the photographer and the knowledge of his equipment. I've seen folks capture images with their cellphone or a simple P&S that are absolutely breath-taking. And, I've see the opposite. People with all the top-of-the-line "stuff" and they take snapshot quality images. Someone once said, "Owning a Hasselblad doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a Hasselblad owner." And, even a Hasselblad isn't going to do squat if it's sitting at home in a case. :)

Nice One :)

Have you tried it with other background instead of the black ?

I am just a guy with a camera...

Rather difficult as this was captured outdoors in bright sunlight. The "background" is shadow.

I love seeing these types of shots with water being the subject. No two are ever the same. It's like a snowflake. Very nicely done.

I love the simplicity, as well as the tiny sun-bursts in the drops. :judge:

What you are is so loud, I can't hear a word you say!
