Done before here, lots and lots of times, I know. I'll surely get hammered. That'll be just to bad for me.
But this is actually MY first trial and I don't see a reason why not showing it, like all other people did before me.

CW - I love the colors. The softness of the water is gorgeous. Nice composition and lighting. Well done!

A better drop shot than anything I've done, though not the best I've seen on DPC. Have to give it a positive vote at minimum because I know how tough these are to get right.

This is a very nicely done water drop show, and I like the smooth blue tones and bokeh. The only unfortunate thing is that there are so many water drop shots in this challenge that it takes away all the uniqueness.

Also, I would have cropped out the white in the top left.

Overall a good shot. 6

Well done. Without a doubt this meets the challenge.

A couple of points: I do not like the softness of the water, I suspect this is almost entirely due to aperture, it's hard to balance this sort of thing, especially when you want all the light you can get.

Other than that, I do wonder about your choice of background, either a higher angle, or a background that didn't have a huge distracting black band.. Then again, I could see that particular feature being deliberate, as it does isolate the drop of water.

I see your code! imh I think you should have cropped a bit there on the left side to get that light spot out the top corner. I'm not good with lighting so I don't know how to correct this but those little reflections in the water are sort of distracting from your water drop. However, I can see the strips in the indiviual drops and I like that. Lots of work put forth in this photo - good job.

As you've effectively asked for comments, here's mine:

It's an excellent capture, great colour, well exposed and in focus. I have a couple of problems though. In terms of composition I feel you could do with a bit more space at the top above the drop as it feels a bit too tight for comfort. I also feel the bright spot at the top left is something of a distraction.

I hope this is the sort of comment you were looking for.
