I went to nearby Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. I took two shots of this Japanese fountain with an LED light from two different directions, then blended them together.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo separately from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

This image was captured for the Macro Mondays theme: "drips, drops and splashes".
Perhaps the most frustrating theme I've attempted, this shot represents one of about five hundred shots captured for the theme.
I love watching drops as they gather along horizontal surfaces. Forming a tidy row, they start small and grow in size, plumping and stretching. The bigger they get, the better I can see the fantastical, upside-down version of my world inside each watery orb. Pulled by gravity, they tremble to hold on but eventually they fall and the cycle begins again.
Like a giant metronome of life, they measure the moments.
Drip, drop. Tick, tock.

A Line of Drips
Last weekend I had my first attempt at macro drips on a leaf, today I tried again and this time I managed to get the flower reflected in the drops, I realise there is much room for improvement but I'm much happier with the result.
This is a very fine leaf blade held in a clamp with a primula flower in another clamp placed behind.I lit them from the side trying to keep most of the light on the drops of water which I added with a pipette.

That's the 6/17/17 theme for Macro Mondays, and since I've made numerous attempts to try to perfect this olive-drop-into-the-martini shot, I decided this was a good excuse to give it another try. I got several great splashes, but that *&%**! olive rarely cooperated and insisted on turning its back to the camera, and without the red pimento showing, the shot was a failure, no matter how great the splash.
Actually, this time I got two shots I wanted to post to the MM group, but one's the limit, so I posted the other one in the first comment below. I'd appreciate knowing if you think I made the right choice...
Isaiah 45:8: “Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, and righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.”
I think today is the day I do my rounds on flickr. Sometimes I lose track of time. But today I am busy. I have a date with the trees. I will be in the bush hugging trees and taking selfies. Maybe I will ride an elk through the forest or chase a cougar around the trees or talk to the bears. Who knows?
This Rattlesnake master's (Eryngium yuccifolium) leaves have small inconsequential thorns that must act as a dew collector.
