Very different, like something from a dream where your imagination has no bounds Keith.
So in your dream, did you find that perfectly reflected drop?
So many to chose from, so little time :wink:
Fun image, nicely done :toast:

Very well done, Keith. I assume water drops on a glass plate, but the careful positioning to get all the refractions sharp is a special touch.
