 Orchid stem with sap.

Thanks for the comments. Unlike water droplets, these form naturally and are very small. Would be impossible to capture background in focus without losing perspective of what they were attached to.

beautiful. I love the background colour, a perfect foil for the yellow greeny brown hairy stem.

I like this. But I think it would have been even better if you got in closer so that the flower reflections in each of the drips were easier to see.

I really wish the orangish color in the background was not there. Really detracts from an otherwise fantastic macro.
