I liked how the leaf cradled the droplet of water perfectly.

@jungen Thanks Darryl! I have never tried to edit in the camera. is that hard to do? I edited this one in Lightroom 5. Took the shot with a macro lens. So glad you like it!
August 1st, 2013  
Amazing capture and the refraction in the droplet superb Lisa looks ace in mono !
August 1st, 2013  
Lovely composition.
August 1st, 2013  
This is beautiful, Lisa! Is that a selfie of you reflected in the image? Or a reflection of the leaves?

Meg
Wow what a great eye to see this...super shot
August 1st, 2013  
Super b&w delight
August 1st, 2013  
@taffy Thank you, Taffy! No, no selfie in the refection. Just the trees that were above.
August 1st, 2013  
@gozoinklings Thank you, Catherine! Yes, I do like to play with the adding the color filter or cross process the B&W. Straight B&W always seems to look so flat to my eye so I usually play with other options. In this one, I started with blue high contrast filter in LR5 and then adjusted exposure,etc. from there. So glad you like it!
August 1st, 2013  
Okay, when I first saw this I said out loud, "OH MY GOSH!!!!" What a shot. It is wonderful in b&w. Fav for sure!!!
August 1st, 2013  
@yonnie Oh, Yvonne, hugs to you! Thank you for your enthusiasm and generous comments. :)
August 1st, 2013  
Clever shot. Great reflections in the water droplet.

Amy
wow I had to do a double take to see if it was a marble. Great job
August 2nd, 2013  
AC
Wonderful capture! You out-did yourself!
August 2nd, 2013  
Beautiful shot. It looks like the flower is presenting a sparkling gift to you.

Caz
Wow Lisa, this is awesome ! Big ( late, sorry) FAV. I'm considering getting Lightroom, would you recommend 5 rather than 4 ?
August 2nd, 2013  
@cazann Thank you so much, Caz! I always appreciate your comments and support! I went from LR3 to LR5 so I can't speak to LR4 personally. From what I have read though, there are some improved features with LR5 that would make it preferable. While I have just scratched the surface with LR5, I find it to be very user friendly. I am working through online tutorials about it with Lynda. com which have been helpful.

Caz
@pflaume Ok, thanks Lisa ( I was just trying to save a few $$$...lol, but I guess 5 is the way to go )
August 2nd, 2013  
The highly reflective water really stands out against the flat textured leaves and looks good in B&W.
August 2nd, 2013  
@rvwalker Thank you, Ross!
August 2nd, 2013  
So pretty! The clarity of the drop is wonderful!
