 First entry here. Captured waterdrops with apple refraction. Adjusted curve, levels and USM.

Post Challenge:
Thanks all for the kind comments. I was expecting the brown ribbon on this one as it was my first entry and I'm very new to macro. This was pretty straight forward with a bowl full of water and an apple resting on another bowl about 3 inches behind it. It took about 125 shots of dropping from a pipette from various heights to get one that I liked. Even then I wasn't sure it would do well because the size of the drops were not very large.

Very creative, but its hard to tell this pic is about an apple until you REALLY look at it. I like the encapsulation though...
