And the winner is....
Congratulations! Love the shot!
I liked the photo as soon as I saw it but discounted it as a contender because it shows drops of water acting as LENSES capturing light. The challenge was a reflection. It is true a lens can reflect an image but he reflection is where it lands not through the objective lens. I still like it but if that is a reflection than any photo is a reflection which of course it is. But that was not what the challenge was. JB
Thank you all for compliments
I explained briefly how I did the shot on page #5.
If you have questions,I have no secrets.
Toker...don't worry about it. You are going to get a lot of cry babies. that is just the way it is. Again good job!

Congratulations A.TOKER! I can't wait to see what the next conest will bring.
Fabulous Photo. Congratulations!!
I may be out of my depth here but I think a lens works because of refraction. the light reflected off the subject is bent/refracted and focused on to the film plane. the refraction is the bending/shrinking from the big scene through the focal/length onto the focal plane. A reflection is light /image that bounces back off a surface and is not refracted or bent. It can appear bent if the surface it reflects off of is curved like a windshield of a car or a chrome bumper. the more I think of it. the water drops are not true reflections. But I really do like the shot. JB
Oooohhh....me likee!
But I hate you.
Beat out *my* entry.
Oh wait, I didn't enter this one now did I?
Well, anyway. I'll let you slide on this one as it is a great image. :)
I do think that everyone is beating this deal about reflections to death. It is a picture and it is a very nice picture. So why don't we all just accept that we have a winner and change the subject and move on as It is not going to change the results of the win.
Again and again...It is a nice shot and Kiddo's to the winner.

Give that photographer a cigar. (A good one, not a 10-year-old "it's a boy" cigar)....Great job!

Congrats on a well deserved win. Great shot A.Toker. I am reminded of a technique I played with a couple of years ago. Applying "Rainex" to a horizontal pane of glass. Water drops on the glass then form almost perfect fisheye lenses, for the subject that is placed under the glass.
I love this image...color,comp,macro...all make this a true winner. Congratulations!!!
GREAT IMAGE!!! Would look great on anyone's wall. Hope you frame and hang on YOUR wall. You deserve the win. BEST of all the entries. Congrats!
