 Ok, I know this is a flower and an idea that has been done before. I was playing with this shot for a local camera club which had a theme for flowers that we have to turn photo's in at in the middle of the month. So I just wanted to do something different for the "Flower" theme of the club and it just happened to fall within the dates of this challenge as well.

I was just browing around your portfolio, Jeremy, and came across this shot. I think you do unique and new things with this technique, giving it new life. Fun stuff!

cool shot, but we've seen this before as well

great shot, one of my favorites love the fact that this looks like some sort of special effect when in fact it si just the concave shape of the droplets that make the effect, and clever to use a round flower as the subject, which is only revealed in the droplets since the actual flower is out of focus in this shot.

This concept is always a pleasure to look at, especially when it is well done like this - good work.

Looks like little eyeballs. A little spooky.

This image is well done, but the idea is not very orginal.

Very cleanly done. Would score it higher, however it seems like this effect has been done a few too many times. Jacko. good luck. 7

This image looks awfully familiar...
I like the image and I like the composition with the dark circle positioned as it is.
Overall image very grainy.

This feels like a flashback to the 60's - maybe a scene from the Beatle's 'Yellow Submarine' movie. All these bubbles of flowers floating towards one... I LIKE it!

Beautifully done! One day I'm going to have to try this myself.

The trick to this photo is the glass, but it is the unseen subject. The subject is really the water drops. But it it well done, and very enjoyable.

Even though these pictures are getting a bit over used, they never stop being stunning. One of these days I'll have to try it myself. - 9

Really amazing... The reflections are so perfect it almost looks like a photoshop creation. Good job!

Positively beautiful. I don't think I'll ever tire of these kinds of shots. I was wondering why I hadn't seen one yet! Thanks for sharing. The detail you captured in the droplets is wonderful, and I like how each flower is actually encircled by its background. 8

New twist on a much used photo method. nice work.

I have a feeling you'd get a ribbon for this submission. Out of all the tiring Glass submissions I went thru during voting, this one stands out. Good choice of colours.

This is a really nice execution of a familiar technique. I like the simplicity of the single flower - making it the star of every bubble.

Nice I would love to knowhow you did this!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the effect that is brought by this kind of glass use, I'll have to try it sometime. Nice picture, good colour choice.

Great! You know, I would really like to see a tutorial on how this kind of a shot is done. I've seen this many times now, but never understood how it is done. Could you forward me any info you have of an existing tutorial on this, or submit one to this site? Thanks.

Wow. Beautiful.

Ah, I recognize the technique from the droplets over the flag tutorial! Interesting use of it, but I'd look for this more as a "water" challenge than glass.

10 right off the bat! I didn\'t even have to think about it. This is great. Detail, Color, Composition... I say this finishes top 5.. if not Number One.

Nice shot. Sorry to say I have seen this too many times here already. High technical score, low in originality... Dave

this is a great effect..... unfortunately I have seen it done here a number of times... technically quite well done though... good luck, Todd.

I completely fail to see how this is glass. If the flower is pressed in a spherical glass paperweight which is photoshopped all over the screen, then it probably doesn't qualify for the competition at all; if not, is this just a bunch of reflections in ... water-drops?

I liked it better as a thumbnail - but that is a subjective comment and I appreciate the imagination that went into your work
