Taken with the Nikon D80 18-55mm F3.5 lens at 55mm zoom, F5.6, with magnifying glass for the macro effect. Flower is a mum. Water drop added on to the mum with a straw, cohesion of water kept it from falling off. Blue fabric was hung in the background. Window lighting was used as seen in the water drop's reflection. Slight vignetting in post editing. Lightened midtones and darkened shadows to increase vibrancy and contrast. Dust removal.

Sorry for the resubmission. I noticed some dust and had to edit them out.

    Hey good shot! I like the blue in the background, how did you achieve that? I think its rad you explain everything about the photo. Yeah, I figured out that magnifying glass thing out by myself last month. Good deal.
