(I do know that there is a drop under the spoon, and I tried to take a new picture, but this one still turned out to be the best one. With advanced editing I could have fixed it, but now it's there, like an eye lash in your eye, so irritating).

To me, what sets this above the other "honey on a spoon" pictures is not just that the honey is not spilling over, but that the honey is well lit and has an appealing texture.
