  MAGNIFICENT, Doug (as always). What a terrific capture and presentation. I for one will be absolutely devastated if this isn't one of this April's "Winners"

Exquisitively done, my dear friend - Allan

  Doug, you have the most incredible collection of waterdrop macros I've ever seen! I have been inspired tonight! This is my favourite. They look like hot air balloons.
