I think this is nothing short of amazing! Congratulations on a top 20 finish. . . .but this one really should have been in the top 10 or 5 (in my opinion anyway)
very difficult to do, once took me 2 days of trial and error. very nice. just don't like the white backgroung. and maybe could have put a light on the side for a highlite, now theres only one.
When I did it I used blue inked water with an image reflected onto the water at the back. The image was also light ectensively. Thus the water was an image distorted by a water droplet. Try it!
wow... that's an amazing setup/shot. There's still something missing, to my eye, though... perhaps a rich blue background, instead of the grey and white? Anyway, very neat.
6 - Good, especially for basic editing. Criticism; difficult re the shallow depth 'featuring', but perhaps (depending of course what you had to work with), incorporating that reflection may have given this even more. The 'flow of color' within the elevated drop is good, and unusual. Nice colors, difficult, but perhaps if they were enhanced more somehow to make them even more vivid, but likely conrast issues, as this seems getting close to bordering on them now, in the rear.
