Circles, lines and wonderful magnifying droplets. This capture had staying power in my mind and I was glad to see it received a second place win. Well done, Stephen. Congratulations on your lovely creation. #9635706

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. This photo proves the truth that the best photos are often not of the things we intended to shoot in the first place. I took a long wet hike to Triple Falls in the Columbia River Gorge on a rainy morning and was disappointed by a rather 'blah' view of the falls. Only then did I stop to see that every leaf and blade of grass around me was covered in shimmering droplets. It was one of my best, most interesting days of shooting. #9637679

Great photographers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.
Congratulations for your achievement, August, 25, 2011. Merna
