OK Scott, stop showing off!!!! Five plus refractions in this image, multiple star effects in another! WOW. How about emailing me to tell me all your secrets.

Amazing capture, Scott! Perfect DOF choice to get those amazing refractions detailed so clearly but then fading off into a soft background. The beautiful colors work so well together. Great comp although I might wish for a teeny bit more space on the left side. Love this!

Love the refracted images in the drops along the edge and how the sparkle in an otherwise muted color scheme.

A cool image with any colors, but the red and green -- especially in this light -- put this one over the top!

Beautiful in all ways! Love the diagonals, the colors, the dew and reflections. Makes for a compelling image.
