Elegant and unusual - really like that I can see that dividing line between wet and dry on the leaf surface itself.

Very well composed shot. Terrific focus. Are those water drops in the stamen? Amazing. That is the type of thing that would look wonderful blown up!

Woo hoo! ANOTHER personal best! Three challenges, three personal bests. Now that's what I call growth. :) FWIW, I gave this an 8 - I thought it really captured what macro photography is all about: showing us details we wouldn't normally see. And you did it in a nice composition with beautiful shallow DOF. I especially like how the water's surface tension is just barely holding back the flood. It tells a story of life lost and on the verge of being swept from memory entirely.
