Awesome detail and lighting to this shot. I love how you can see each individual strand of the feather. I didnt vote in this challenge but if I had I would have given this a 9-10. Wow very beautiful image.
Cool photo! My first impression was, "this would make a great note card." I like the duality of the sharpness of the water droplet and the softness of the downy feathers. Good colors and lighting. Hope this does well in the challenge.
Interesting image, well exposed with good use of depth of field. I'm not real fond of the thick border (but don't mark it lower for that, I just try to ignore it). I might have tried the droplet off center, probably sliding it down and to the right a tad.
Outstanding shot. I like the lighting. Not that I'm reducing the score for it but the only thing that bothered me a little is the imprefection in the feather that breaks up the pattern just to the upper left of the water.
Wow. This is so cool. I love how water "bends" things - like the lines in the middle of the feather. Only nitpic is the border. That's just personal taste though. I feel it would have been even better without it.
This picture is very, very beautiful. The DoF and the light make for an ethereal feel, and the drop provides a nice focal point. Not a fan of the border tho! (won't hold that against ya) 9
