 I have a hot tub in my back yard, during one of our afternoon storms, I noticed small pools of water gathering on the hot tub cover. I used a 160mm focal length and a flash to bring out the rain drops. In photoshop, I used levels and color balance. Hope you enjoy.

Cool shot. I'd just crop off a bit of the OOF foreground.

If the droplets were just a bit more in focus it would be a better shot but I like the idea. Would make a good backdrop for advertising. 7

interesting. i like how all the tiny drops coming from the one drop in the center shine like that.

Interesting shot. DId you use an effects filter to get the light rays on the droplets in the center? My only wish would be for a slightly greater DOF. Kinda magical though.

The trailing "stars" on the droplet at the centre of this shot make the photo for me. I'm surprised this shot hasn't been requested for DQ for that reason. Good catch.

Very nice shot
The drop in the middle does it for me
I like the DOF to this image

Cool shot. Like the colors a lot. The sparkly effect in the middle of the shot are a little distracting though.

I like the rippled the drops create. are those star bursts for real? It seems to only happen in the middle of the composition. 5
