Mike, This is amazing, both in composition and detail. Just wondering if this is on a light table or some natural backlight that you found outside.?

Thanks Mike. That's a new level for creating a work of art. I have not done that since I was a teenager, but I hope to spend more time in the future more deliberately exploring the depths of the hidden world. Your work is inspiring.

Great shot Mike, love the water droplet placement and the slight bit of color it adds to the photo.

Marvelous concept, Mike. I like the composition a lot. I'm not sure about the bit of blue reflection in the drop. I think it would work a little better for me if it were all one color.

Congratulations on the EP selection here, Mike. I really like how the water droplet has magnified the heck out of the feather layered just below it, really nice.

Grats on the EP! This is gorgeous Mike, the detail is stunning. I bet this makes a killer large print.

I love this picture! Great composition, it's not a subject that most people would notice. Keep up the good work!
