This is about as close as I can get with the 100mm macro. I opened it up wide, focused it in tight and sort of swayed the hand held shot clicking when I thoght it was in focus. Apart from a slight crop its right out of the box. looks like I blurred the background with ps brushes.

I would have liked not to have overexposed the water.

Michael, it's beautiful I know how hard a shot like this is to get, because mine rarely turn out well. I love the way the background looks, its colors and direction of "flow." Looks like a waterfall on our red planet.

Great colors in this one, Michael. You did a lot better than I have been able to do.

The 100 is difficult for me, without a tripod. Nice image here.

Nice shot,

I too know the struggle to get a rain/dew drop in focus. Its not only the old eyes, its the old hands. For me a blurred abstract works much better.

Nice work
Tim
