Water Drops and Dahlia

Uploaded: October 05, 2016 | Entered: October 05, 2016 11:09:07

Description

The same image I had posted last month and deleted by accident. This is of water drops acting as wide angle lenses. It is on glass sprayed with Rain-X, and then sprayed with water. The glass is suspended over the flower which is lit from behind on a light box and from the side by a LED panel.
