From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A drop of water on a leaf. The leaf is hydrophobic so the droplet forms into a spherical shape to reduce contact with the surface. The hydrophobic effect occurs when water excludes non-polar molecules.

I uploaded this picture I found on flickr to Commons about 3 1/2 years ago. I think it demonstrates the hydrophobic effect beautifully and am interested to see what everyone thinks of it as I am not a photography expert. I wrote the description myself but its a paraphrasing/re-iteration of material in the hydrophobic article as I'm not a science expert either.
