I agree if it were cropped tighter to rid the white edges..it would have been more abstract..This is neat none the less. Good work

I gave this a 6 as well. I thought it was a nice shot. I think it loses something on the left side. Otherwise, a nice entry and something that you should be happy with. Don't let trolls get you down.

critique:
i voted this shot a 6,

the dof is great!

but visually it is not that interesting in my opinion...i think maybe rotating it to make the drop look like it was falling might have given you a better score..you should have placed higher than you did though...
