awesome setting you made here (I read the other comments and saw you set it yourself). I love the hint of reflection of the window on the droplets. magnificent macro.

this is so pretty!!!
you are very good at using that macro lens.
Did you set this shot up? or was there already water on the cactus?
And if you don't mind me asking, approx. how much did you pay for your macro lens?

Thank you

Yes, I set the cactus on a counter top by a window to get sunlight, and I sprinkled water over it.

This particular lens cost about one thousand dollars (Canadian). The other macro lens (60mm) I used in some of my other macro shots was about five or six hundred.

So, basically just the MSRP. [Nikon.ca -- $969.95 (msrp)]

Yeah, camera stuff is so expensive. It's annoying.

Wow, even though I've seen thousands shots like this, this kind of stands out. It's different, and different is good. I'm not into purple, but I really like it in this shot! Great capture my friend
