Great macro. Good shot.
Birgitta
I’ve seen many fancy schmancy waterdrop shots,
(you know the ones..multi coloured backgrounds with what looks like
a miniature stalagtite rising from the ground)...but the simplicity of
this is what appeals to me most. Terrific capture! And I like the dual
textures going on with the sleek water’s surface and the gritty faucet.
Rosina Lamberti
lovely drop!
George Lenz
nice close up and great timing getting this right…
Amanda Hammock
Fantastic capture of the drops. A pain in the back side to get a good one, eh? At least for me it is!
