Beautiful - agree with Shirley - it would make a beautiful necklace. Nature is breath-taking in its ability to take the simplicity of a stalk of grass and turn it into a thing of great beauty - well seen and captured. Thanks for sharing this one.

Well, that's the jewellery of nature on a macro that more than deserves the name, Joggie! The tonal contrast between the droplets and the background can really be named nobel. A bit of small distrurbances here and there could also be taken as additional color enhancement of the light, like for example on the many more redish looking diffractions of the parts that were nearer to you than the start of your DoF. And so I have to consider them as the special shines that supply a more "life-like" look and feel.

A very very contemplative image that at the same time manages to be as natural as one might imagine.

Nick
