My first shot at water droplets. Set up in my kitchen. Harder than it looked to get a clear image in the droplet. I did not use a flash, that might have helped.

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club. Congratulations on a new PB Robin!
First Impression: A nice, soft and vibrant image image, sharp enough where it should be and an above average flower reflection.
Composition: For me the composition is just right.
Tecnical: At first glance the blown out petal was a little annoying but on reflection I think it actually helps the image. The green foliage is a little distracting and it might improve the image if it was in better focus.
Artistic: Yes, its certainly artistic and the colours go really well together. The way the petals merge into that silky soft backround shows a good vision.
Overall thoughts: Even though similar has been done 100's of times at dpc it was submitted to a flower challenge and this is a good example. Well done and all the best for future challenges.
I LOVE this! I'm so surprised not to see this one way way up there. Its the kind of photo I would have put in the top very few -- and one that really appeals to my style. Awesome job!
I'm not generally a fan of the water drop shots (been done to death... so cliche) but you've executed it so perfectly that I had to rate this up there with my favourites in this challenge. Composition is different enough to carry the water drop cliche... which is an outstanding effort. Well done.
