I really like the contrast between the fluidity of the droplets and reflctions and the relative rigidity of the wood grain. Perfect exposure and color. A nice abstraction, which I scored high, despite the lack of evidence to convince me that the drops are truly waiting for the sun. Creativity in titling can bve important.
Your picture has great colors and focus however, it really doesn't convey waiting except for the title. Just looking at it conveys "wet" to me - not waiting.
A very subtle but nice image. It is pleasant to "wander through the drops." Just enough color variation to add interest. Waiting is most stronly suggested by the title - not the image.
Great photo - nice patterns (isn't nature wonderful). Perhaps some side lighting to create some shadows would have added some oomph. HOWEVER - without the title - it doesn't really convey waiting.
This was probably the most interesting shot of the challenge for me. Better lighting would have probably improved it a bit, but who wants to lug lights out to their deck in the rain? :-) But even with natural light, this is a really excellent photo. Great job.
