'Round the House

This is an image of a house as seen through a water drop hanging from a leaf in my brother's backyard. The house looks upside down because the water drop serves as a convex lens, inverting the light rays as they pass through it.

Thanks, guys. Paul: The EFS 18-135mm is labeled as a "macro" lens with minimum focus of 1.3 ft. At 135mm and 1.3 feet, you can get in very tight. Traveler: This was taken over a year ago so I don't remember the exact details, but there was something gray-colored between me and the house such that I was able to frame the image with a gray background. - Ken

How did you get the gray background...just nicely there. Traveller

I’m impressed that the 18-135 was able to focus that close especially with that much clarity. Nice entry. Paul
