 post challenge: So tell me, does no one actually see the eyeball in the top drop? Or the metaphor for the teardrop running down the face after coming out of the eye? The bottom drop was supposed to be a bit oof! I guess I'm just too weird and see things nobody else does. Oh well, I'll try some eye candy next.

This is hauntingly reminiscent of my "self portrait as raindrop" in concept and execution. I'm surprised I didn't notice it before. I don't mean "you copied me", I mean "you took an eerily similar approach", like we are thinking the same way, far outside the box. So I'm glad I'm not the only one. Fore reference, if you don't know that image (it was 4 years ago), here it is:



Check out the photographer's comments, and the back-and-forth in the comments thread. People have a REALLY hard time "getting" this stuff. But I "get" it and I love it.

Damn. How did you even see this? Great catch!

I like this pic

I like it and I got it. Too many people just don't get shots like this which IMHO is sad.

I love how it's soft. I think it might be even nicer if the drop of water was a little crisper.

cool picture, not sure what it has to do with peace though.

Nice macro, only it is too blurry and there isn't alot of detail due to the fact your branch is completely i photo and everything is blurry.

This seems gray and depressing, like time is lost kinda thing.

The branch on the top of the photgraph balances the negative space in the bottom of the photograph. The contrast of the light water drop adds emphasis to the photograph.

This is a nice subject but the water drop should be better focused.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/24/2008 02:33:00 PM
nice idea. i'd like to see better focus in the droplet
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice idea, but the photo is not really in focus and is hard to tell what the subject is.

a little soft.

Deja Vu on my infamous self-portrait :-)

oh dear, it's noisy!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i think this would have been stronger if the focus was on the lower drop rather than the higher one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/22/2008 06:38:13 AM
this picture has way too much contrast...a bit more texture and some light
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/21/2008 02:12:39 PM
I like the idea here. Focus on the main drop would improve this, as would attaching the grain.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/21/2008 07:50:32 AM
could be much better if the drop was less out of focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/21/2008 06:54:07 AM
Cool photo. It doesn't say 'peace' to me though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/21/2008 04:32:13 AM
To be honest, I don't understand its connection to the theme.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/20/2008 05:22:21 PM
Nice! I usually don't like the water drop pictures but this one works for me.

OOF

Water droplet should be in focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/20/2008 04:45:02 AM
I love the detail of the water drop. Maybe cropping out that background could help, or adding to the rest of it.

seems a bit out of focus. very interesting though!
