Super cool. Super cool. OK, let me guess: I'm thinking this is one shot of drops on glass. ??

Thanks to all for your kind comments. To do this I first photographed a crown vetch flower, then printed it out at about 5 inches in diameter. I placed a piece of glass approximately 5 inches over the photograph, sprinkled the water droplets, then shot it with window light at the above settings. I've done shots like this with the flower itself, but the image in the droplet is in better focus with a flat subject.
