Lily Drops, by Anubhav Jain

A canceled flight led my wife and I to spend a day exploring Atlanta. We found a fantastical botanical garden that was very photogenic after a recent rainfall. Here, I focused my camera on droplets of water that had collected on some lily pads. I find it interesting how the photo shows a relationship between the size of the droplets and their roundness. I also sometimes imagine the droplets racing to the center of the lily pad. While compact cameras certainly have their limitations, their macro modes are usually very good for capturing this sort of thing!
