Clematis drops.

Despite its large spectacular flowers, this clematis rarely gets drops on it, I would guess because of its surface: the water just flows off instead of having enough surface tension to form a drop. This one has enough spider webs on it, though, that drops formed. With the help of my tripod and a windless day, I ended up with something very sharp, sharp enough that there are actually details in the drop that can just be seen inside the drops. I prefer yesterday's shot (here : I think it is more beautifully simple), but this one is technically very successful (so I say ;) ) despite being busier.

It may sound strange but at first it looked like a Nebula (as a thumbnail
). Stunning image, i love it.
