Looking for something to shoot I noticed the pink Cape Mallow flowers on the shrub in front of my house refracting in the sprinkler drops on the ornamental garlic leaves. Since it was very breezy I decided to take the whole setup inside, using my son's blue statistics textbook (what is it doing at home?!?) as a backdrop.

Please let me know what you think :)

Thank you everyone, glad you like it. I've wanted to try this for a while, and it was fun :)

I used a 100mm macro lens with 68mm extension tubes. Also, I ended up cropping in a bit, but not much at all.
