Very well done, Doug. The stacking seems to have worked very well. I love doing these refractions, so I really appreciate this one. Perfectly executed! :toast: :toast: :toast:

This is just splendid Doug. I'm not familiar with stacking images for CU shots. How do you go about it? I do blends for landscapes..is it similar?

Exceptional work Doug, even by your standards. Just superb. That said, would it make any sense to take the format to a pano aspect ratio.

This is so neat! I haven't hard personal luck in doing anything like this, but really admire everyone else's successes with these!

Wow, the reflection is incredible and I like how the drop is positioned against the yellow circle in the background.
