Photo taken in the outskirts of Genéve, in a place called Bonne. The reflection of a big hill is reflected through the drop that was hiding under some trees in the shade. Soft light with cloudy/clear blue sky. It was so awesome weather!

OR! I was in my kitchen for 2 hours setting this shot up on my kitchen table. . . .

I wanted to create a droplet shot that had the reflection of some mountain or something similar. Around where I live here that's not an option since there is no such mountains/hills. Therefore I had to "build" the reflection. I used reflectors, water, branches, leaves, lightbulbs. And finally had it all positioned next besides the window so that I could leech the clear/cloudy day.

I struggled for a while to get the focus where I wanted it, it's about time to get proper macro gear..., but eventually I had it and I'm pleased with the outcome. As of now the focus lies on the "hill" in the droplet and slightly on the outlines insteaf of the opposite.
