| You were probably killed on the subject for the challenge, but had I voted in this challenge, I would have given it an 8. Awesome photo with beautiful clarity, and a great distribution of the drops. Really cool examples of different texture as well. |

I gave this a 10 and didn't comment? What is wrong with me.
I find the contrast, the focus, the whole thing simply glorious. Can't believe it scored so low. You were robbed. |

| Another one of those shots that grows on me each time I return. The water droplets create a lovely texture. |

| To me DNMC. It seem to be a Still Life in low light not a night shot, that is ideally places or people in obvious night situation. |
