Greetings from the Critique Club!
Your image has a lot of interest, both in the subject matter and composition. The bubbles reflect the flowers well (though not perfectly), and the resulting background colour bokeh is very pleasant. There is a satisfying distribution of water drops across the image, with tiny and small drops spaced evenly amongst larger ones, and in-focus and out-of-focus elements nicely balanced. Overall, a nice effect.
The dark line of water is very heavy, and weights the image toward the top in a way that, for me, detracts slightly. If this were dodged to lessen the effect, I think this may have helped. I'm also distracted by the droplets above the water line; their uneven shapes, compared to the more formal round shapes below, and their uneven distribution, also compared to below, is not a benefit. However, some may argue that this is a contrasting element of the photo that is pleasing. The glass at the top is not spotless, or too sharp, or otherwise not as effective as the appearance of the glass below. Softening, in my opinion, would have helped this area in general.
Aside from these points, some of which are merely a matter of taste, the image is effective. Congrats!
I hope this helps,
Louis |
