Would have been more eye-catching with better selection of background and subject colours. Placed on white blotting paper and just allowed to melt with maybe red and black ink dribbled over ice cube would have put this transition into the 6-7 group.
the arrangement is good. it looks good in the thumbnail but the larger image is somehow washed out. maybe a different background color (not wood) would help. something white or yellow.
I think this is let down by being underexposed and having an over-yellow colour balance. I think a white background might have suited the subject better. Also the droplets look a little over-contrived; I think it would have been better to try and make it more natural.
picture is interesting, though it is too unbelievable with the artificial splatter effect, furthermore the lighting is off and the colors in geberal take away from your picture in my opinion
creative and imaginative. Focus seems a bit out. Could have done with a better location with more light and maybe a different backing than the tabletop ?
