Ball of Fire

This is superb, Rebecca. I'm guessing a drop of water just before its splash on the leaf. It appears you left the light reflections unaltered which gives us some cues on lighting, but maybe cloning out the two brighter spots (top and near bottom) might give the droplet a more realistic appearance - just a thought.

Thanks Michael. Yes, I suppose I could clone out the blown spots. I tend not to tamper with the water drop images other than changing background color. In this case there was no need for that...red towel in the background and bright fall leaf. Good point, tho'...if not completed cloned out, maybe just a bit would help.
