This was one of my first few photos when I got the new Micro-Nikkor 105mmf2.8 Macro lens. I am astounded by this amazing lens. Photo itself taken in the glass house some time after watering. All I have done is crop away the exterior.

I have an early 70's model Micro Nikkor 55mm f3.5, and know exactly what you are talking about. It's still in the top 3 lenses that I always keep nearby.
For me in this image, the drop of water is the focal point, and I can see you there. With a 105mm doing this kind of macro, it's necessary to really try to reduce camera shake. Wind is a problem with most of my macro like this, as I always try to "take it where I find it" and just a slight breeze moves most flowers all over at this magnification. I usually shoot at f11 with the MN and use flash for most things not directly in the sunlight. Have fun with it, and keep posting the results, at least the good ones!

Really lovely. I love the dof and detail on it.
