    Nice. Believe it or not, water droplets are one of those things that one can do in around 4 or 5 steps. In breaking down the values you can control the illusion better without having to think about it too much once you know the trick.

    Attached is a link to a very formulaic Water droplet on a leaf that works. You may want to look at it. There are a lot of ways to do it, but if you can break down what's going on from this photo, you will always be able to achieve the result I think you're after.

    Think of it like a recipe for cooking. You do x, y and z and add seasoning in the proportion that enhances the basic food. You don't want to put in too much salt otherwise it becomes salty at the expense of the meat flavor or whatever. Similar with adding highlights and shadows.

    Check this out. It's pretty clear what's making it work. Look at the proportions for the different values and why is it shaped as it is. Notice too that the highlight is over an area of shadow because it makes it appear glassy from the contrast where a little bit goes a long way. You have it going, and you're on the right path, only a little bit of adjustment will help you I think and then you'll have it perfect. Your darks could go a little darker and it will help make it feel wetter.

    Hope this helps.

    Sir, you are right. Will take a while to learn the trick as you rightly put it. Thanks again. Meanwhile posting some more work I did this weekend for your observations.
