I was practicing with my 100mm and reversed 50 1.8 and got this photos, which I was very happy with....until further inspection. I guess the water drop caught the tripod that the flash was mounted on. Did it ruin the photo =(

The reflection's upside down, lol, nobody will even know what that is. It's fine, although it's kinda dark.

You can't really tell, I'd not worry about it.

Looks fine to me too.
Bit confused though - normally you only get reflections like this with natural light. Using a flash tends to give a bright flash reflection but then you normally get a refraction. So were you using the flash ?

Yes, the flash was mounted on a tripod to the high right. Probably 1 1/2 feet above the subject facing downward with a omni-bounce

can't remember exactly but the flash was either 1/16 or 1/32. I just needed a little extra pop on the lighting

I'm studying it further and am leaning toward maybe it's not the tripod. My flash stand tripod has a center bar, and the tripod my camera was on was lower, as to where the legs were all straight out. It could veryvwell be more stems from the plant?
