Tried to get a bit more colour into these drops plus a bit more interest by using a crystal glass in one shot. Last shot is just to include my cat who kept on trying to help with the shots... hmphhh. :) All taken around 1.5:1 and minimal if any cropping.
You guessed it- the weather was awful yesterday :)

Lovely shots again Brian - the first is really nice. I must try this too.

My one cat loves rubbing up against me when I'm in the most awkward positions trying to take pics.

Thanks for looking and commenting all- much appreciated.
Racketman- the sensor does need cleaning but those last two shots have tiny bubbles on the liquid surface on the left of the drop :)

Very interesting shots Brian, I like them all. For me the first one is very special.

Thanks Dancinec, Have to admit I actually focus stacked two shots for that one of different bubbles. The colour is different to the other ones simply because I reduced the colour temperature during RAW processing to enhance the blue.

I really like the 1st best. The colors are wonderful and I like the clarity of the water drop.
