Description Drops and flowers combined with shallow dof, i never get tired of it

I really like how the bokeh reflects in the drop here, never happened before.

Grain removal, contrast fix, tone adjustments, selective light and darken, cloning on distractions in photoshop.

And since i get this question a lot lately, i use the canon 100mm F2.8 lens, hand held, natural light.

Hope you like it, any fav or feedback is welcome and very appreciated.

For if one denied and refused to accept the existence of the single, unique sun, he would be compelled to accept the existence of a whole series of minor suns, each real and existent in its own right, as numerous as the drops and bubbles of the ocean, as countless as the particles of snow. It would be necessary to believe that each minute particle contains a huge sun, even though the particle is large enough only to contain itself.

It would be an even greater sign of lunacy and misguidance to refuse one's assent to the attributes of perfection of the Glorious Creator, even while beholding the well-ordered cosmos that is constantly changing in wise and regular fashion, that is being ceaselessly renewed in disciplined manner. This, too, would be like the ravings of a lunatic, since it would then become necessary to believe and accept that absolute divinity is present in all things, even a particle. For every particle of air is somehow able to enter and work its effects upon every flower, fruit and leaf, and unless the particle be entrusted with this task by a Creator, it must know of itself the structure and form of all the objects it penetrates and affects. In other words, it must possess all-encompassing power and knowledge.

How long does it usually take you to decide on a photo? Is it a natural feeling or do you strain till you get the perfect shot?

Beautiful - the detail on the drops is so crisp and clear, yet there is another quality to this that is very nice - it seems so peaceful. The bokeh is wonderful and so pleasingly balanced out the image.

I never get tired of it either, this is beautiful, as always and the bokeh. I'm always amazed that you take most of your pictures handheld! I have the same lens, but I don't have the same steady hands I think
