Good Afternoon, Folks!

This shot explains my feelings for mother Nature, shows how beautiful the world is!

A hidden world within a single tiny droplet, which is full of emotions and colors.
I believe you understand my emotions ;)

You are a part of world, and lets make our World a beautiful place to enjoy at!

best regards,
Paras

This is a leaf of the Indian Lotus where I fine these lovely droplets resting in peace on a wonderful day.

Information on "Indian Lotus" from Wikipedia:

Nelumbo nucifera, known by a number of names including Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, or simply lotus, is a plant in the Nelumbonaceae family. Botanically, Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.) may also be referred to by its former names, Nelumbium speciosum (Wild.) or Nymphaea nelumbo. This plant is an aquatic perennial. Under favorable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from that of seeds 1300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in northeastern China.

A common misconception is referring to the lotus as a water-lily (Nymphaea), an entirely different plant as can be seen from the centre of the flower, which clearly lacks the structure that goes on to form the distinctive circular seed pod in the Nelumbo nucifera. It should also be noted that water-lilies come in various colors, whereas the lotus has flowers only in hues of pink, or white.

Native to Greater India[citation needed] and commonly cultivated in water gardens, the lotus is the national flower of India and Vietnam.

Hello Paras,
Many of us are fascinated by this phenomenon of nature -- those perfectly round shaped water drops resting on leaves and looking like miniature planets unto themselves. Sometimes they reflect the scene around them like convex mirrors; in your picture, they seem to be reflecting the blue sky. I too have dabbled in this kind of photography with limited success. You have captured these 'pearls' from a an angle that lends them a three-dimensional aspect.
It is beautiful picture and I have enjoyed looking at it.
Thanks and all the best.
Ram

Ek gaana hai, film 'Ijaazat', kuchh aisa hai
"Chhoti si kahani se, baarishon ke paani se
Saari vaadi bhar gayee
Na jaane kyun, dil bhar gaya
Na jaane kyun, aankh bhar gayee"
Superb shot,Lil Bro!
Diwali ki bahut bahut shubhkaamnaein!

Hello Paras,
Lovely composition, the drops are very artistically displayed. With a tiny more sharpness this would be a super picture.
Very well seen.
Kind regards
