First attempt at planned photo based on an idea. A cooling rack sprayed with water and single drop of red-colored chocolate syrup. Couple that with an agonizing amount of light and camera adjustments and what do you get? A newfound appreciation for those who do this well, and routinely.

Wow. One of the many strong contenders. I give it a nice, as to me it seems a touch out of focus, would have liked to have the the droplets slightly sharper. Place this in the top ten.
I don't really know why this photograph is not as absolutely brilliant as it could have been. The idea is great, the drops are wonderfully shiny. Maybe the red drop is placed in a too "static" place - I think it's too close to the (vertical) middle. Wonderful photo all the same.
Nice idea. The blown out highlights concern me. I would have preferred to see the blood droplet completely framed - perhaps it was intentional to crop off the left wire - just a personal preference. Overall an solid entry for this challange in my view.
Not sure how this will go over with others here. But I love it. I gave it an 8. Just a little to much glare on the top water for me. Still a great photo and idea.
Simple. If it weren't for the blown areas in the middle row, this would have gotten a 10 from me. But the originality and execution deserve at least a 9. So here it is.
The concept is very clever - creating a pattern, in which the strong point of the image emerges -, but I'm not sure about its execution... I don“t think the drop of blood (??) is such a strong point, perhaps due to its framing and dimension... I feel you ended up with an image less interesting than it was supoosed to (and the reflection of the light is a bit distracting too). Anyway, 6 for originality and effort.
A very interesting composition and subject, marred by the massive white flares at the center that distract and hurt the eyes. The background color is nice.
i really like this concept....its great...the only thing i can comment on is that in my opinion the light flares in the row above the subject pull my attention away a bit....otherwise well done
