 Sorry about the title. Only thing I could think of. Same goes for the image. Had to drink about a dozen cokes for the red caps. My sugar level is through the roof!

Red, white and blue bottle caps on a mirror treated with RainX. Placed the water drops with an eye dropper on the mirror in front of the caps. Shot in macro mode with a Hoya 10X close up filter. Cropped only for 1.33 aspect ratio.

Post: Crop. Layer adjustments for levels (75% opacity), brightness/contrast (75% opacity) and hue/saturation. Neat Image. USM. Resize. USM.

Very creative. I like what you have done here. The composition is very nice. The detail is very impressive also. Focus is nicely done and the lighting great. I am personally very impressed with this shot. Very nice work. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with in the future.

I am growing tired of these shots. They score well, it's just it's become a cliche here in DP Challenge. I'm not singling you out though. I just wanted to express to you the reason and feelings behind my vote. 6.

This is so interesting. I don't know how you did it, but it's quite effective. The colors and clarity is spot on. Are those checkers???? Lids? Well, whatever, the varying sizes of the drops makes it very pleasing to the eye. 8
