I was inspired my IreneM. Mine didn't come anywhere near her fantastic drops but I like the result that I achieved. I did not do any expert editing because I am still not a pro at photoshop. My setup was a wine glass full of marbles sitting in my stainless steel kitchen sink with faucet on slightly. Used the flash to catch the drop. I can see why IreneM shoots so many. You have to in order to get just one. I know people are tired of drops but each drop has its own personality and I have been wanting to try this out for a while.

I had fun doing it and realize I need to have more patience. Some will say it is too dark but I like it dark. My husband thought I should have had a white back ground instead of the granite background. Well, I worked with what I had. He is probably right but I didn't have time to redo.

Wow considering this was expert editing I did really good in the challenge because I only used Basic Editing. I am very pleased. Thank you all for your wonderful comments.

For a water drop picture, this is really quite good, and you managed to get some of those shiny bokeh circles in, too! (Sorry, I can't help myself. I've been voting on the bokeh challenge.)
