Patience, lots of cloning out dust and bubbles, curves, sharpen, hues, slight saturation. I'm really happy with this shot. Hope I don't get voted down for it being another water drop.

nice work. the reflection in the drop, though, seems to be strong enough that you probably could have cropped 60% off the right and 50% off the bottom. as is, i'm afraid you'll be catching the cliche-shot backlash.
Creative. Beautiful droplets and ripples. I like that the checkerboard is an unusual color, and I like that it is in the droplets. Neat effect. Very nice lighting.
This one grows on me as I look at it. First I noticed the large checkerboard with ripple effect. Next I saw more checkerboards in the column of water and finally the drop with a perfect checkerboard in it as well. Well imagined and executed.
as far as the series of these go on DPC, the quality is quite poor unfortunately. the foregound blocks show a lot of noise caused by processing or digital zoom.
