That's really beautiful, MK Scarlett! The colours and the light are amazing!
I too would like to know more about your process: since it's macrophotography, what camera did you use? Do you enhance the colours by computer afterward?
Thank you for sharing! :)
I made a tutorial at the time where I used to share my photographies on DeviantArt:

I use a Canon EOS 350D, a Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm f/2.8 USM and a Canon Speedlite 430EX Flash, AND a tripod, without this last one, it is not possible to get these kind of pictures. I also add others lights as a tube of blue light, for example. It depends on the result I want to have. As exercice, it is very exhausting, but so worthy!
And yes, colors are a bit enhanced on Photoshop but not so much.
For the little story, I wanted to create something I had never seen on the Web for this kind of macro photographies (droplets), something more poetry, I wanted to create effects like a painting, which can be done with a macro lens. So I tried, tried, and tried again until get the wanted result . Et voilà! ;)
