This is exciting work. With a score like that, you "should" have been in the top ten! Well, top 20 isn't so bad out of 1100 entries.
Try this in the flip/blend Thread! Oh, do. |

I see some idiots voted 1's and 2's and 3's just because this was a water drop shot. Very immature.
Sorry I just had to say that.
This is a wonderful image that is motivating me into a water drop frenzy. Rain x is on my list of things to buy for sure.

Congrats on your top twenty finish. I love that you took this with your old p&s. Thanks for the tip on Rain-X, I'll use it if I ever get into the water-bead biz.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... this was one of the few images I scored a 10. One of my criteria for scoring a 10 is "Would I have this photo on my wall?" and for this one, I surely would.
No matter how many times I look at this my brain still can't work out the correct orientation, or exactly how the image is made up. Perfect focus and sharpening, simply awesome! Although I have rated a few images at 10, this is my prediction for the Blue! |

Definite WOW factor here. Love the blue hue of the droplets against the beige/gray tinge of the mirror reflection. The clarity and detail on this are incredible. And I'm dying to know how you managed to avoid the camera showing up in the bead reflections. Super shot. A fave |

This is absolutely stunning in color and composition!!! Love how the surface of the 'water' is a golden warm hue. The dew bubbles/spheres are akin to reflective glass mirrors that show us a beautiful day with lovely blue skies and white clouds - perfect for daydreaming. Something else that I see reflected back in the dewdrops is I see what looks like an 'island' (maybe it is a house but it is not defined on my screen). It invokes the idea of a small island just like these dewdrops are akin to tiny water islands on the surface of the lake/bay/ocean. |
