Love it. So crisp and such pretty flowers in the reflection. Love it when that happens

Genius. How did you do this? What's the setting? Did you wait very long just to get this shot?

Nicely done!  How do you achieve something like that?  Is the reflection edited in or naturally caught?  Did you enhance it to make it so clear?

The details and the composition are worth the praise. I am as well curious on how you made this shot. Nice post!

Holy thread resurrection, Batman! Thanks for the comments. This was actually a two shot stack, one focusing on the front of the drop and the second on the reflection. The Dahlia was about eight inches behind the drop. Its tough to concoct the drops as nature seems to be better at holding the water together. Early morning is best. Also, this was one of about seventy five efforts that particular morning, and I was looking for bugs when I saw this........
Edit: I also blurred the background flower a little in photoshop....
