 Another fun challenge! I made my own table with glass and treated the glass with Rain-x so water would bead uniformly. Colored tissue paper and a Gerber daisy and sunshine.

Too bad about the DQ, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a very nice looking shot!

See what happens? Forget about how your "basic editing" workflow should go and you get a DQ. I get to take a week off now! WooHoo! Can finally sleep on Tuesday nights now.

Glad you all liked the image, thanks for your votes and great comments.

Very nice. Love the color and the arrangement. Not to mention your capture of actual spheres as compared to so many others who captured circles.
