I created this photograph kinda by accident. I was experimenting with a new technique I discovered to photograph macro subjects, which is to set the manual focus at the shortest distance possible and then move the camera in and out to get the subject in focus. I find it's very helpful with fast-moving insects and tiny subjects like this dewdrop. Anyway, in this photo I happened to get the focus point on the reflection inside the dewdrop rather than on the dewdrop itself. I really like the result and thought it would be good for the current assignment.
Any C&C are welcome!
