This image is titled "Water Drop Bouquet". It is an example of water drop refraction, but with a twist. The way this is usually done is to place, say, a flower behind a water drop or two clinging to a blade of grass or something, and after some tweaking and careful focusing that flower will appear refracted inside each of the water drops. But I decided to go a little off script and shoot the same scene three times, with a different flower behind the drops each time. The only thing I changed between scenes was the flower behind the drops; the camera position and the drops clinging to the two pine needles remained the same. Then I opened the three separate images in Photoshop as separate layers and used masking to reveal a different flower in each of the drops. The background of the final composite shot is the flower in the upper left drop (it's actually a clump of three artificial flowers of some kind). The other two drops show a rose and a sunflower -- both artificial flowers I picked up for a couple bucks each at a hobby store.

It was a fun indoor photography project for an afternoon -- creating a water drop refraction shot with different flowers in each of the droplets. Kind of a mind bender, until you know how it was done!
