Water drops

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? I'm a HUGE fan of Pat's (PatsPix) photos, and her water drops are the coolest. Here's my attempt, rain drops on my window. I like how you can see the screen in some of the drops.

    The screen is really cool! Especially when it is magnified in the drops.

    Becky--I blush! These are wonderful! I love your focus and the fact that the screen shows up, and you have some seriously cool color going on, too. Not the easiest thing to get when you have to depend on what's outside the window. I really like the drop surrounded by white in the second shot. Can you crop in closer on that?

    Very cool! I like the background color is both shots and the focus in the dropplets are great! I think my fav is the 2nd though. The PPing is really nice. As to bring out almost a rainbow of colors in the dropplets.
