Well done Melanie! No one could accuse you of a chance snap shot on this. Well executed with the timing be just right to catch a very unusual configuration of water in motion. Bob

Great and beautiful shot. Good timing for this special drops. Good sharpness and colours. Loghting and composition are well done. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Melanie, excellent shot - maybe a little low on the contrast side on the bottom (IMHO) but the isolated drop with the "halo" around it and its reflection make it very special - well done.
