The theme for Challenge #539 is "Drops", more in the direction of Macro photography.

The challenge closes at midnight Saturday 10th July 2021 SAST.

The fine print:
Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

1. Post ONE photo.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax or Ricoh camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

As far as drops go, I have this.

That really looks like an Ikea rack for on a stove

Water Drop Collision

Drop a water drop on top of a previous drop and watch the splash. Requires timing to a few milliseconds, to fire the flash that actually takes the picture.

To be honest, while looking at your photo I was sitting in the kitchen facing 2 of them.

You nailed it.
