 I've always loved ireneM's photos, and never could seem to capture the quality image that she consistently achieves. This is my best attempt to date. I hope I do her proud! My goal on this one is to get at least one comment guessing it's her!

PP - opened Raw file in ACR. slight crop. cloned out a few dust spots. layer for curves, then a layer for gothic glow (to put more emphasis on drop area) at 30% opacity. USM. resize, USM again just for droplet, then added border. save for web.

It is indeed very unfortunate that you had to hack into IreneM's computer to get the image for this challenge.

Really nice work Steve -perfect focus and lighting

Very cool, love the color contrasts and the ball reflecting the feather, I wish the ball were a bit larger

Interesting image - but a little small on the screen to do justice to your fine subject.
