That's just a beautiful shot, Paul. That Viv S1 has lovely bokeh, doesn't it? As with everything else you show, the comp is terrific.
The colours are great, as is the detail. Did you actually know the drop was accumulating there, or was that a lucky grab? It's very nice...
I don't know about f22, though. I really like the narrow dof. It works so well here.
Thanks for a timely, relaxing, hopeful photo.
cheers, frank

My Snowdrops are trying to bloom, but it's quite cold today. Here's a shot with the Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 macro on *ist-D. It's at 1:2.

I placed a detail crop here. The reflection in the drop of water is kind of cool. The *ist-D's sharpness and detail are quite good I think for a handheld macro shot.

Both are f8 @ 1/90. I'll shoot these off a mini tripod when the blossoms open. It needs f22.
