Water droplets on my bedroom window shot just as the sun was coming up. The screen outside the window shows up in the droplets. The horizontal streaks are scratches on the window.

I know the DPC crowd gets tired of water droplets, but this is my first water droplet shot, and it's a naturally occurring scene, not a setup with spray bottle. I was struck by the "stars" in the condensation, made by fiery sun in water, not a star filter. Since it's an everyday thing (at least on my not-well-insulated window), and it's beautiful yet imperfect (the scratches), to me it matched the challenge.

Crop, levels, saturation, brightness, contrast, shadows/highlights, hue, luminance, sharpen.

This is really cool looking. It absolutely shows the beauty in everyday things. It might not be considered Wabi-Sabi depending on one's definition.

Title is great and the beading is cool in that each catches that light...
