I was inspired by eyewave's shot Precious water. I have always wanted to try this process.

glad2badad your right but eyewave was kind enough to post the set up on the shot which I learned from other wise I would have never been able to do the shot
And thanks everyone for your votes I didnt even think this would place. I only did it because I have always wanted to try this set up. And finally could thanks to eyewave.
great job...you picked a great master to copy in eyewave
Ummm...didn't realize that eyewave had the monopoly on this type of setup. Quite certain it's been done before - yes? And probably will be again, and again, and... :-)
This is fun, if not cliche-ish. I take it your emphasis is on the refraction in the water droplet? While working on that I think the main part of the fruit became a little neglected in DOF. What gives me this impression is the "hairs" of the skin are well focused and show good detail, but the face of the fruit is just off a tad. Just some observations, and obviously just one person's opinion. :-) Good luck in the challenge.
The reflection in the deoplet looks amazing, and that vibrant green looks really good, im glad you didn't incorporate any other colors. the droplet does look a little too bright andalmost looks a little neony. Still a lovely photo though.
Neat image in the drip. I am getting jaded with all the drips and splashes that seem to be in all the challenges anymore though. Not to worry, I am probably in the minority.
