Took this at my kitchen sink with water in a blue cup and a diamond cut type of cutting board as the background, it really made a neat effect of the light.
adjusted source lighting, adjusted saturation, contrast and levels, NI applied, resized, sharpened and saved for web

Shame on britteyboo for their comment. So what if you tweaked it a bit? At least you admitted it! To Britteyboo I say "Jealousy is such an ugly thing. Mind you, so am I, and I am VERY jealous of this" To you I simply say "Wonderful, well done."
Congratulation on such good score. The Image deserved it.
Aesthetic: This one looks cool. Even though there are so many of this kind on DPC, this one stands out.
Technical: Perfect. Well exposed and "appropriate" DOF. The focus is sharp and lighting is just right. How did you achieved such smooth texture of water...?
Challenge: Not just fits the challenge but is amongst the best. No more comments on this one :)
Conclusion: Overall a great composition. Even though this is cliche shot, still you made it stand out from rest in the lot. I'm surely going to try this on my own. As many other comments hint- this does not even look real (though we know it is) and I really like it falling between two worlds. Looking forward to more submissions from you.
