Nice shot. Hand held or tripod?

 

[Myteemouse]

hand held shooting straight down on a single stalk of some ground cover in my back yard right after rain on sunday, it is a drop (a ball of rain water if you will)) stuck on the top of it

I could tell it was a drop of water, the great thing about the shot is it makes it looks like a crystal/diamond. Where most droplets of water show distinct reflections.

if you look close you'll see the surface tention on the drop of water is suspended on the tips of the plant

I really like this shot I zoomed in and you can see your reflection a little as well, did you do any PP (sharpening or contrasting)? Something that has been on my short list is extension tubes, have you ever looked into them?

Looks really good, what kind of camera are you using?

Compliments from me also. Awesome! The water droplets really do look like crystal or diamonds, which is helped by plant tips. This shouldnt actually be surprising as water really has crystalline structures, hexagonal micro-clusters can usually be found in the best waters.

Nice picture, had me fooled I thought is was a diamond in a coral.
