 Took tons and tons and tons of pictures, this is by far the best.
I know it doesn't represent "lucky" as well as a 4 leaf clover, or a horseshoe above a door, but as any photographer knows, getting a shot like this takes... well... luck!

The Bokeh in this frame is distracting to me, personally. Otherwise, great colors and interesting droplets. Maybe a tighter crop?

shhh, your supposed to call it skill and claim it was a "last minute entry" with seconds to go that you just snapped real quick and uploaded straight from the camera.

I smell shoehorn! It may have been luck but it doesn't show luck. Nice shot though
