Love the reflections on the drop. Fantastic work on getting that perfect drop ......... having spent many hours trying, I know it's not easy.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1113 images, I gave 90 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 90, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.
Lots of water droplet pictues in every challenge it seems these days, hated by some, loved by others. Sometimes with the abundance of such shots it's hard to remember how difficult perfectly executed water drops are. This has an added dimension of the background reflected through the droplet, which I can only imagine to be much more difficult to achieve. Personally, I would have rated it a point higher if the image was fully desaturated, as I find the odd hints of colout here and there to be a distraction rather than adding anything to the image. Nonetheless, a nice shot.
Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

cool capture. why not clone out the little spots on the drop from left ? that would make it look much better IMO

Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous. But in the end, it is yet another example of a tired genre. Sorry.

It is an amazing picture that must have taken an incredible amount of time, patience and undoubted skill. I would like to read a 'how I did it' after the challenge. I'm not that keen on the title though.

As a splash aficionado, I can say with some feeling that this is a stunning image, movement frozen and so much in focus - a considerable challenge - my compliments.

03/13/2009 04:02:06 PMPost actions
Long live the waterdrop! I think the pattern on the flat(ish) water is the most intriguing part of this image for me.

Fabulously clear, great reflections. That one red dot on the water stem looks a bit like a dead pixel which is a wee bit annoying but otherwise, the shot is excellent!

Cleverly done, 10/10. Makes my droplet photos look very average - is it upside down (looking from under the water?), anyway I'd love to know how you did this.
