I'm glad the caption explained what this was. Fascinating how different things look ultra close up. how did you set up this shot?

Kris. I just spotted these raindrops on the tulip leaf after a short shower, grabbed the camera with the macro lens. Used a tripod and experimented. The sun was on the right, hence the highlights and the shadows Took a dozen or so shots before a gentle breeze rolled the raindrops from the leaf. This is not the best shot. I was following instructions for putting photos on to the forum and just took the first macro shot I could find. I am facinated by the beauty of nature but sometimes you have to stop and look to spot opportunities to capture these moments.

Great shot I would like to have a dab at macro work when I have the right lens well done.
