 Tiny salt spoon with miner's lettuce dripping dew onto spoon. It was there, and I unintentionally knocked some of the then bigger drop onto the spoon when picking out debris. Maybe too dark and too unsharp (why do I insist on using the lesser camera?), but I like the illusion that it might be upside down.
Post: thanks voters and commenters. This did a little better than I hoped once I had to look at the thumbnail all week. I wasn't totally satisfied with it, but I thought it might be interesting and different enough to run with.
Crop, hue, saturation, curves, USM, sharpen.

I like the brightness of the spood compared to the background, it draws my attention to what is in the spoon rather than the spoon itself.

I don't think this background really helps much. There's also a lot happening in the spoon reflection, but it doesn't add to the composition.

Background is a bit dark on my monitor but love the idea. A little bit of water in the spoon would have been a nice touch. Quality entry.
