Processed it differently using topaz restyle. Comments welcome.

Highlights are a bit strong!

[HaseebM]

Indeed! Tried reducing them as much as possible though.

[Shadowman]

Nicely captured, rotate that image in any direction and it would surely play havoc with the brain.

[IzzieK]

The drops are interesting...

[HaseebM]

Thank you John and Izzie. What would CiC do without you both, imo most encouraging members ever.

[IzzieK]

That is a very flattering comment...thank you. (bowing...)

[FootLoose]

I like this shot, Haseeb. I agree with Matt, though, the highlights in the background are particularly distracting. If you can't pull them down, then another option is to replace those areas with a different colour if your software has that function.

[HaseebM]

You deserve that comment Izzie.

Thanks Greg, I can give that a go in PS. I will post the result here.

Is this better?

[FootLoose]

I find that less distracting, Haseeb.

[HaseebM]

Next time I will keep an eye out for those highlights. One more of those. Cropped in LR5.

[IzzieK]

Excellent shot, Haseeb! I have gone back on this image many times during the day and I still find it so beautiful...can you share how you got this one? Thanks.

Thank you! It was in my backyard just after rain. Had the 100mm Macro IS on and took some images. Out of a dozen or so, some came out well and some didn't. This one in particular I too liked very much and cropped the main image to get this in LR5. Here's the original version.

Very nice, good catch. On the other hand, I don't know what to think about the out off focus drop in the center ??.

Even at F/13 or more, I cannot bring all those drops in focus unless I do focus stacking which was not possible as there was breeze outdoors or perhaps I could take two images, align and blend.

Cool shot, Haseeb. It reminds me of Christmas.

Maybe...just maybe, Haseeb, you can experiment bringing a branch inside the house, spray it with water with different backgrounds of course and take a shot or two or 10... something to experiment without the breeze. I really love these last ones...just that busy these next few more days because of Thanksgiving...water to me of any kind is such a powerful subject to photograph...

[HaseebM]

I did not thing of that. I should look for a loose branch and hope a bit of time on hand to experiment.
