Excellent composition and contrasting colors. This is one of my favorite shots in this challenge.

Winters Tear Drops
by scab-lab

Comment:
If you really caught two perfect drops in mid-air, this is an amazing capture. If the dripping water was added in after the fact, a lot less impressive. I really like the smooth gradient background. I can see how the shallow DOF accentuates certain parts of the icicle, but I would have preferred to see more of it in clearer focus, since the majority of it is out of focus...

Can of worms

That is so gross! :) It reminds me of something I met see on the TV show "Fear Factor". It must have been tricky photographing those slimey things without them getting your perfectly clean white background all nasty. Anyway... great shot!

To spike a drink
by kosmikkreeper

Comment:
Cool picture, but I guess I don't get it. I don't see the "drink" part of your literal title. I just see a drop of water and a nail (which if large enough, is also called a spike). I like the concept of "spiking a drink", but I probably would have put a "spike" in a martini glass and photographed that...

I like the layering in this photo a lot.

Reflections on Eternity
by dsidwell

Comment:
I love the "painted" effect of this image! And the grid lines add a very interesting "modern" effect to the image that contrasts with the classical church architecture. Well done! My only comment is that it looks like a tiny bit of counter-clockwise rotation might have helped align the grid, but probably at the expense of tilting the church too me.

Emerald Buddha Temple
by Hardfire

Comment:
This looks like an amazing temple. I wish the palm fronts (?) weren't so dominant in the foreground to allow more of the temple's detail to show.

Hole to Infinity
by Jacko

Comment:
Great concept! Too bad the compression artifacts looks like they took a toll on this image (looking at the right lower front and around the "hole" at the end of the tunnel). But don't get me wrong -- I like it!
