157th Show & Tell Competition: The Background Matters

[pstubley]

Hmm, challenging topic, at least for me: these days, I am all about making the background vanish or be as simple as possible so that my subject really pops. So this is helping me add a new way of looking at things. I decided to submit a few of my droplet shots: the background per se is still the usual unobtrusive bokeh, but the image in the droplet is the background, and one of the things that draws me to droplet shots.
