Macro-licious Part 2

I had to send my rental lens back on Monday. You could probably say there was a little bit of separation anxiety on my side. I was never able to get that perfect snowflake picture that I wanted (I think the recent storm was a heavier wetter snow, you need a lighter dryer flake, bummer!) and the other problem with renting this lens in the winter is that it makes it a little difficult to get a shot of those pesky insects. I had dreams of a ladybug on a flower petal. Despite those little setbacks I still had fun. 
The next few pictures are probably my favorite. Did you know that a water droplet acts like a wide angle lens and captures the detail around it? I saw this post right before I decided to rent a macro lens and thought it looked like a neat technique to try and master. Here are my results. Which one is your favorite? I created a little poll on the top right side of my blog. I'd love your feedback.
A.

Like I said before, this lens will definitely be on my ever growing "wish" list. Wish me luck!
