WoW! Great photo! How do you get such a shallow focus range? I know it's probably photography 101, but that's such a great look!

@radioactiveman: The shallow focus was from having the aperture set to 2.5 and close shooting range. I couldn't get the auto focus to lock onto the drop so I manually focused. My eye sight isn't the best, but I lucked out and got it right on this one.

I like the simpleness of this shot and the "image within an image" that's created by the refection in the water droplet. Beautiful selective focus.

I agree with Russ... I can see the whole tree reflected in the drop... very cool!

Gorgeous! A really wonderful photo. I love the single drop of water. The Bokeh is fantastically delicious.
