Interesting, I hadn't thought of this. It looks a lot more abstract this way, thank you.

What lovely results from a somewhat 'left field' of thought. I must admit to liking the blue to the B&W. All still fabby though. I also liked bforbes' contribution as well.
Be well, stay safe.

Good for a first attempt 
.
The bforbes version works best because the image in the water drop is immediately recognisable so the eye is drawn to it. With the original version, some thought is needed before recognising what it is.
Even in the bforbes version, I find that there's too much competing for attention. Would it have been possible to get the water drop with the image located in front of the dark part of the background so it is framed by the dark, point bit? Or having the drop a bit further to the left, so it's half way between the rising dark bits of the background and therefore more symmetrical?
Looking forward to seeing the result of the next band of rain moving in from the Atlantic!

Lovely, I'll try and think more about light/dark in future shots. Lets have a bit more rain then

Here are a few crops - finding it difficult because of how some drops are much brighter than others/distracting.
6. Colour
7. Mono
8. Colour, inverted, tighter
9. Colour, inverted, tightest crop
