Wow - I didn't get to vote on this challenge, but now that I'm looking, this entry knocks my socks off. Congrats on the well-deserved blue. Very unusual and beautiful.
So much going on (lines, shadows, blobs and curls) but despite all that still very calm. Cold blue toning enhances the feeling the waterdrops create. Nice composition, good exposure, excellengt toning.
It's a wonderful composition that makes you wander around the drops. The unusual color makes it very unique. I know it's really tough with macro to get much DoF, but that closest diagonal line needs to be crisp. Too bad you didn't have a lens that would stop down to f64! Exposure is spot on. Overall - an excellent job!
Nice. I like the blue duotone effect, too. A little overkill on the water drops, and the blurry petal edge right down the center is unfortunate. Still a fine entry.
Wow - what a beautiful photo! The only thing I would change about it is the harsh glare on some of the droplets since it conflicts with the soft tone of the photo, but I imagine that's from the sun, which you don't have much control over. But that's a tiny point. This is a really great shot.
beautifully captured. this goes well beyond the typical flower shot by your use of colors, the interesting patterns of the dew drops and the fascinating spiral lines of the blooms. an excellent shot! congrats
