OK - I've viewed this image several times. It is captivating with wonderful colors and graphic design. At first, I thought the "drops" were water drops and had convinced myself that it was upside down. Now - I think they are air bubbles and it is right-side-up. Then there's the "hope" issue - I just can't make it fit into that subject - as much as I really want to. So - you get a really decent score for an imaginative and artistic image that would be better served in a different challenge.
Cool use of colour, nice work :) perspective wise i may have brought it down a bit so that you can see the tip and bit more focused up the top, but otherwise fantastic photo
