I didnt do any processing to the actual water drop but I darkened the background where there were reflections from my sink or the paper behind the water drop

Yeah thats what I thought.. works well, emphasizes the drop.

Thats so awesome. Love the star tracking, Northern lights and the deep space. I just cant understand how they do the deep space stuff?

Heres another of mine, I did this using an incense stick and edited in Photoshop... Kinda looks like 2 Cobras

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Awesome.. I assume you mirrored it?

Reminds me alot of the stuff we did in Darkroom just using the enlarger and photographic paper.. Glass can give a similar effect using that technique.

Another one I took a few weeks back..

Coloured water drops on a peacock feather...

I'm not a photographer but I am quite snobby about photography, and that is a sweet photo.

If you enjoy photography its worth going for a job in it, its seems to be one of the few hobbies that people enjoy doing for a living. Even if its part time doing weddings for friends, its good experience and always a good laugh. Pro wedding photographers take the piss with prices, theres so many car crash examples over the net it should be embarrassing for them.

Have you tried any HDR shots? My mate has started doing them and they look incredible. He's not a pro, but last week photographed a friends wedding on a boat around st stropez.. Here's an HDR pic he took in Winchester:
