Beaitiful! Any chance of a "the birds"-esque how it was done tutorial? :) I've never been able to edit night time exposure shots satisfactorily.

I like the lines in this. Nice.
I like the way the water bottle is just incidental.

Thirsty?

Haven't seen one of these in a while.
It's a shame the image that goes through the drops on the bottle aren't water related.
Good idea though. I like the DOF.

I like this. But I think I'd've processed it a little more than you have. Probably just a boost in contrast although that may have over-contrasted the right hand side of the image--going through the plastic drops the contrast somewhat I think.

There's a lot to this image. Water. not water. Candidness. I quite like this. And I'm not just saying it because of our discussion. I'm saying it because all of these things are used as water bottles. Just because they are coke bottles, snapples, pepsi's... they can all contain water, and people like me use them as water bottles after we have emptied their initial contents. This shot has a transience that is not immediately evident but that tickles my photographic sensibilities.
Something else for me is the lent reference in the background. Many of my friends (being from a Catholic country) give up fizzy drinks during lent and as a result drink more water.
Whether this was all planned or not I don't know. But I got it from the image so it doesn't matter. This got a 6 from me.

This is wonderful, and utterly underrated. The hand, glare and balance are beautiful. Even the dot I like.

We never know the worth of water till the well runs dry.

I'm gonna update this from a 9 to a 10 and favourite it.
I'm not quite sure what it is I like about it... but I like that something a lot. Fantastic work!

I think I prefer the more-square layout in shots, at least of late.
Your entry did better than how I think this would have cause of the way the coffee rose up on the sides of the cup. Not 'clean' and 'dpc-friendly' maybe? I love the softness, dof and cleanness of your entry.
That said... I want a cup of coffee now!

Freshhh!

Very nice. I like the lighting and the water drops.

Death

Superb shot. Love it.
It might have been nice if there was smoke rising from the wick, so the concept of death just arriving.
Very well done, and congrats on the top ten.
