Thank You for your interest! This photo was taken through a sheet of glass coated with glass treatment (for car windsheelds) drpopped on drops of tap water with an injection syringe and shot straight down. I set the camera to aperture priority and used the smallest aperture and focused the image inside the drop. The subject, in this the clock, under the glass was placed so that the reflections in the drops were as I wished.
