Wedding WalkWhen you think about it shooting images through a water drop is like using a filter on the camera.  It is in effect a medium that the reflected light from a subject passes through which alters the scene through the spherical contours of the surface of the translucent material. 

This water drop image was taken of a wedding photograph that appears four times in the foreground droplets.  I like the ghostly shape and texture of the white background  bride in the photograph.  I think this technique works best when the original subject matter is so far out of focus that it is difficult to determine what it is.  That makes it even more of a surprise when the viewer recognizes the resulting image held within the water drops.

The placement of the foreground subject follows the traditional rule of thirds rather than placing it on the centerline of the composition.  The sipia tome of the original photo adds a nice antique feeling.
