Well, this doesn't match up to f/22's "laying in the weeds" refraction, which was spectacular.
However I feel like the focus is good. I held the softbox above the flower which is why the drop is so dark.
1/200 @ f/22 with flash at M-1/16.
Now I can work on the composition....

Thanks. I really had to work to get the focus. Macro has such a high discard rate. This forum has made me more critical of flaws. There are some fine photographers on here-- and they are great at sharing. I owe a lot to Nikonian72, Blurryeyed, and f/stop22 for assisting with the focus technique.I love the look.
I feel like it's a "Walton moment"....

Excellent. Your gonna dust me as soon as you fine tune your technique.

Well, I'm not sure about that. I was finally able to get the focus-- now I'll work on the composition and "artsy-fartsy" part of it. I deeply respect your opinions-- because you consistently produce excellent images.Excellent. Your gonna dust me as soon as you fine tune your technique.

Nice job you nailed it. There are so many variables in this reflection, refraction stuff to think about. I think you got something with the lighting up high. It's not like straight up macro work. I have a lot of experimenting to do with lighting, positions of light source and diffusers. Maybe we need to flash the subject behind the drip? It never ends!
