Oh my gosh--this is wonderful--I have yet to master these types of close ups--one day maybe but yours is amazing--I love this

LOL!! thanks so much! practice, practice and more obsessive practice!!

Gorgeous! Congrats.

thanks so much!

I really love this shot. is it glycerin or photoshop? I am just curious. You have a wonderful technique.

thanks so much! it is plain H2o and absolutely NO PHOTOSHOP or superimposing. Just a lot of patience and perseverence!! it is an indoor shot with flash. i'm no expert, just an (obsessive) enthusiast!

Awesome!!!

Thank you so much!!

What type of camera and lens are you using? This is an outstanding photo!

Lol! I'm using a Nikon d3100 and my prime lens. Totally nothing fancy. Good lighting and absolute stillness. I mean ABSOLUTE stillness. Sometimes when I barely touch the setup my heart pulse will vibrate the drops. Oh yeah, a decent pair of reading glasses helps too! Thanks so much!!
