  • Birgitta

    I’ve seen many fancy schmancy waterdrop shots,
    (you know the ones..multi coloured backgrounds with what looks like
    a miniature stalagtite rising from the ground)...but the simplicity of
    this is what appeals to me most. Terrific capture! And I like the dual
    textures going on with the sleek water’s surface and the gritty faucet.
