fabulous title. love the photo except for the bit that extends into the border. For an image as stong as this, that sort of gimmicky treatment takes away from the integrity of the composition. that aside it's a beautiful capture, filled with strong diagonals and repetition. :)
5 - Nice light effect in the drop(s). Like the concept of bringing the fore 'bar' out of the frame, but if the lower part of it was done too, and possibly also a slight variation in frame color, so as not to be so dominant, make this better in my opinion. More refined crop at the top too.
You're border is too big and the fact that only one of the bars is going out of the picture is a bit strange. If you would have left the other alone and focused on the water dripping off it would have been a 10. I gave you a 6 though.
Very cool image. IMO opinion the reflections in the drop are very strong and are enough to atract the viewers eye in a pleasing way. The bar cutting through the border distracts greatly from the interest point of the droplet. Still a lovely shot and I'm back to bump you up to 8.
Why do the weird border thing on one side and not the other?
I absolutely love the image ... until it reaches that bar at the front which pulls your attention away from the rest of it. The border just makes it worse!
Don't like the lines breaking the border - especially the choice of an out-of-focus one to do it with: seems gratuitous and strange, and takes away from the photographic nature of the image and makes it about the framing of the presentation rather than the photograph.
