Since I'm commenting on every photo in this challenge, I thought I'd better comment on this one too. I really like the duotone you've used, and the DoF works really well, although a little less shallow I think would look better. The lighting, specially on the drops, is pretty good. Nice shot.
Thought I'd add some pigtails to your comments here.
Amazing feat, your commenting on so many of the photos in this challenge, due to being home sick and all that. And I very much appreciate your comment on my entry (as I mentioned before in the threads).
The reason I'm leaving this comment, is that, frankly, I didn't like or get this photo...I scored it rather low. Being one of those with pigtails, and given that no one else who commented has them, I felt I needed to point this out...
I like the subtle colors and back lighting of this shot. Great detail on the beads of water and the "brushed steel" look of the top of the can. Border looks nice too.
Normally I love shots with shallow DOF but here I feel that you used an aperture 2-3 stops bigger than would have worked to get all of the droplets in focus. Still way better than most shots in the challenge, keep it up.
I think would have been worth another point had the focus zone been more on the "object identifying" pull-tag. A more blue light source might have bumped it even one more. Good concept. Keep it up!
