 Was snowing heavily the other day, so I was out with my camera. This is a photo of raindrops on a carwindow. The PP is probably on the border of basic editing. Opened in raw, tweaked the WB, opened it. Resized, add border, sharpened and denoised in neatimage, then used USM like crazy. Amoun to 75% and radius to 250, that added the "crystal" look.

If you look closely you can see a old rock dude or something in the top center raindrop.

Lovely colours and at least some originality with the drops theme.
