Lovely, Tom. I was always told that blue and green are not complementary…not so as this image proves.

  I probably should fix the white balance – it’s a bit too blue. Thanks, Steve!

  Thanks – the backlit droplets were what drew me in. Took a look at your blog – I’ll have to come back. I haven’t read anything about Foucault since college – I met him briefly long ago.

    Thanks Tom for your reply. Wow – imagine meeting Foucault. (Prof Roth describes meeting him in one of his lectures and it’s really wonderful stuff.) I am barely scratching the surface of this depth of history and thinking – but it’s hugely rewarding to try to even scrape up a little.

Love the colors and the details. And how you used the depth of field enhances the effect. Bravo!
