Made me smile. I think I would include the rest of that left ear.

I like the selective desaturation, but I think I would have kept the people in the back in color, just like the woman. I would also place her right in the middle. The way it is now, my eye gravitated towards the blurry people because they are smiling.

Nice colors, good composition, good emotions, but a little too much USM (or something...).

I like the colors and textures. I think if the guy was closer and facing the camera, more like a portrait, it would have been more interesting. IMO

Nice shot! Too bad it's waaay too small to see anything. I'd always go with the maximum 640 pixels allowed.

Complementary drops

Ah, yes... Another water shot...

I am very much a beginner, and I've been dying to try this. After trying it though I have a new appreciation for these water shots. They are a lot harder than I thought. Very difficult to focus on the drop.

I did not expect to win at all, not even close, especially given the subject. But I am glad I tried it, I learned a lot.

Thank you for the positive comments, and I am very excited. Sorry to bore everyone with yet another water drop :)
