HELP!!

I was leaving to go out, when I spotted this leaf with big drops of water on it. I ran back in and got the G9 real quick, set it on Macro, got on my belly to get as close as I could and started shooting. Could someone please call 911...I can't get back up. LOL.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

I did Jimbob, but without any result as in my country 112 is used for emergency purposes. Hope however you don't have to stay there the whole night, lol
Fine post, mate.

Jimbob, at our age, it is not wise to get down lower the seat level!! I bet your subject leaves before you do!

I do not know if you plan to use this shot in the contest, but it would be an excellent entry. ~~ John

The angle works well to bring out the depth of the leaf plus the droplets are crystal clear. I echo my thoughts that this would make a perfect contest entry for 'Simplicity'. Excellent work Jim.
