Whe someone dev-watches you it means thet when you submit a photo or post a journal, the watcher gets them in their message center. Right now, I watch about 448 people (which is too many to handle. lol )
Thank you for the nice compliment! 
I don't mind helping, if I can. So if you have photography questions . . .

ooh ok got it. and that is alot! thank you so much, i'm sure i will be asking you lots of questions! how did you do the dew drop picture actually? the detail and clarity is absolutely amazing!

The flower was in a vase on the shelf of my bat window. I used a syringe to put a drop on it, it was a small drop because bigger ones kept rolling off. lol
I think that was taken with my macro lens, but it may have been the extension tubes on my normal lens. Use (A)perture priority Mode, and use a tiny aperture (high f-stop number) so the depth of focus is greater. Focus on what's in the droplet if you can. Take the shot. Try it a few times re-focusing each time. The shutter speed will probably be long, so you really need a tripod and either a delay or a remote shutter release.
I always use a tripod with macros. And I probably used a 2 second delay to help eliminate camera movement from pushing the shutter.
Also, I cropped and enlarged the droplet because it was so sharp I could get away with doing that.
