This is really cool and quite different, Scott.  Mother Nature's optics well shown.

Hi Scott,

The detail in those drops is awesome--a scene within a scene!  I like the composition--image sharp where it is needed.......................Jim

Scott, Great sharpness for the refracted image in the drop. The larger version is really wonderful. Makes me imagine the garden. Excellent!

The refracted image in the drops is spectacular, Scott. The soft focus on the flower adds a ton of color as well as setting the stage nicely for the sharp images.  An outstanding catch.
