 Based on kiwiness' great H2O photo in the Science challenge.

I was originally going to have it saying HO3, as in 3 Ho's, Ho Ho Ho, but that didnt look right so I just stuck with one Ho. I think Jacko will vote this 10 cos he likes the word Ho. I think everyone else will just vote it average cos compared to kiwi's original this is pants.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Very well thought out. The smaller drops of water toward the top give the image a nice overall perspective. The way the light fades away toward the top right corner makes the plain background rather interesting -- especially because the water droplets maintain their sharp color throughout the image which adds a nice depth.

Your composition is great -- there's just enough subject there for my taste, and there's also the right amount of space left to 'surround' the subject to give the photo its interest.

Good work.

i like the creative twist very much. i kind of wonder what the white specks are in the H's drops, though.. unfortunately, that might hurt you (unless i'm the only one).

the lighting is not that good and the water droplets feel grainy ? May be a polarizer would help ?

Keep looking for a "2" between the H and the O

Cleaner and neater than the original, I would say. Unfortunately, I don't see that you've moved things on much from what was never a particular favourite of mine anyhow. Technically, it's beautifully done, absolutely flawless I would say. It still elicits a big 'so what?' from me though.

Nicely done! Though the water in the "H" doesn't look as clear as in the "O".... can't tell if those are reflections or what.

Now if you had put a 3 to the right and made it Ho to the 3rd power............... LOL! I love this, the lighting seems a bit dark on the right but otherwise very well done! A 9
