The title comes from the background image, I used the cd cover slip from "Aria 2" by Paul Schwartz. The setup (in order) was the camera, a magnifying glass, the pin and waterdrop, then part of the cd cover. I used a longer shutter and mildly low lighting with a high aperture to get the light levels I wanted.

Thanks to everyone who left comments, With comments like these my score doesn't dissapoint me so much :-P I took a risk doing something "Artistic" in a challenge like macro... I knew I did too... I had some other macro shots that were of the same image, but closer up of the water drop. If you want to see my outtakes you can find them here //gaze.myparadise.org/pin.htm
I chose my favorite photo, I guess I should have picked a more technical shot, but I really liked this one for it's artistic value... I'm just glad a few of you enjoyed my shot :) thanks again fro the comments.
I would not have believed it if I had not seen if for myself. This throws out all of the photography rules out for me and just get a 10 for what it is. I still can't believe it. I gotta know how you did it. PTL It'll be one of my favorites.
love the subtle inversion in the drop, very clever. did you use something that would stay put on the needle? or just catch a drop of water hanging on? -10
