    Here's a photo I took the other day when it was raining. It's a wire mesh (you know... the anti-bug thing) on my bathroom window :D that had few raindrops on it.

    [​IMG]

    For all hi-resolution hogs out there, 1920x1200 versions (all PNG, lossless compression):

    This is basically how it came from the camera, but I did some geometrical corrections. My window mesh is kind of distorted + my focus wasn't perfect:

    This is the 'shopped' version in free ImageJ software (use Subtract Background, 10 pixels, uncheck Light background):

    Pretty much any free image processing software can put a color filter on it, so you can make it any color. This is a blue one that I currently use:

    Enjoy. :)

    Ok, you know what? That's one of the cooler wallpapers that I've seen in the last 8 years. Well done.

    God, I hate you!! I started counting the drops that were caught on the screen. Goodness, insanity has taken hold me.

    Thanks for the great wall paper!

    ImageJ nice program, use to use it for the cell biology research when i was in university.

    @unreal25 like the wallpaper, i thought from the image you had initially it was something from Matrix.
