Unusual early summer rain (+revised)

This image embodies what macro or close-up photography entails. Intense, sharp detail and enough depth of field to capture the essential layers of water droplets decorating a plant seed head.

Congrats @Diane_Miller ! @Jim_Zablotny has summed this image beautifully.

Thanks @Dennis_Plank and @Glenys_Passier , and thanks @Jim_Zablotny for the EP! A delightful surprise for this modest little image!

Congratulations on the EP
I love the reflections and reactions as you zoom in and out - almost like a fractal image

Liquid crystals. Just stunning. I really like the close up version. Detail is spectacular. The geometric spokes radiating from the gold centers so nicely sets off the globular shape of the droplets.

Thanks, @Huw_Thomas and @Chris_Baird ! Fractals and liquid crystals – I hadn’t thought of either and am flattered at the analogy!

It looks like all’s been said already. Nevertheless, I just want to add that both the original and the tightest crop are my favourites. I have no preference between those two. Dew is such a wonderful gift of nature to play with…
Grt, Ingrid.

Thanks, @Ingrid_Vekemans !

Congrats on the EP. Great Image.!!!

Phenominal image Diane, well worth the soaked jeans! I like the latest, closeup version the best. Terrific composition and detail, down to the reflection in the drops in the middle of the image. Well deserved Editor’s Pick.

Thanks, @Gill_Vanderlip and @Scott_Fricke ! My Levis have a hard life.
