Nope i dont mind after all ive done some odd things to other folks pics (like adding a couple of sasquatches on a tettering log because they just looked like they needed to be there lol) ... Your edit is great I just bought my first mac and am gonna have to wait till I can afford mac style Photoshop before I'll be able to do much more then mess with the color and contrast and exposure

I'm trying to get better at macro/high-speed photography of water drops. I have a long way to go, but like this one. Fill my time anyway :)
Is there a site you use to find these blogs to try?

I just googled water drop photography, and it brings up a lot of links to 'how to' information, and different types of water drop photography. I can't remember exactly which one I used, probably looked at a LOT of them:) Lots of fun.

My set up is rather 'primitive' - I hang the zip bag of water about 3-5 feet over the drip pan (to catch the water). Put a hole in the bag with a pin. Gauge where the water drops hit the water and focus on that. (Manual focus). Tripod a MUST.
For the reflections I hang something colorful (background) behind the water so it will reflect on the water, giving color to the shot.
Strobe #1 on the background, strobe #2 to the other side, You may need a couple of shots to decide where you want the light. If you only have one strobe that's ok.
Manual focus f8 200iso - or you can do just about anything to get the shot. I have done it with a high iso and no flash. Not as pretty.
You just have to get in synch with the water when it hits the surface of the water in the pan (dish- whatever) Sometimes many shots before you get a keeper :) goodie for digital! ;)
You can see a lot of set ups and info if you google Water Drop Photography. or High speed water drop photography.
I know I am 'thinking' about what I do to get the shot, BUT saying it may be as clear as MUD :)
