This is exciting work. With a score like that, you "should" have been in the top ten! Well, top 20 isn't so bad out of 1100 entries.
Try this in the flip/blend Thread! Oh, do.

I see some idiots voted 1's and 2's and 3's just because this was a water drop shot. Very immature.
Sorry I just had to say that.
This is a wonderful image that is motivating me into a water drop frenzy. Rain x is on my list of things to buy for sure.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... this was one of the few images I scored a 10. One of my criteria for scoring a 10 is "Would I have this photo on my wall?" and for this one, I surely would.
No matter how many times I look at this my brain still can't work out the correct orientation, or exactly how the image is made up. Perfect focus and sharpening, simply awesome! Although I have rated a few images at 10, this is my prediction for the Blue!

This is absolutely stunning in color and composition!!! Love how the surface of the 'water' is a golden warm hue. The dew bubbles/spheres are akin to reflective glass mirrors that show us a beautiful day with lovely blue skies and white clouds - perfect for daydreaming. Something else that I see reflected back in the dewdrops is I see what looks like an 'island' (maybe it is a house but it is not defined on my screen). It invokes the idea of a small island just like these dewdrops are akin to tiny water islands on the surface of the lake/bay/ocean.
