Pretty little starburst there on the middle drop of water. Like the vignette lighting.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO VOTED AND MADE COMMENTS.

Unfortunately, my photo was DQ'd. I was using a loner camera because mine was in the shop for
repairs after falling out of the camera bag. I made the bonehead mistake of not checking to make
sure the loner camera had the correct date... oh, yes, the month, day, and time were correct and
within the challenge submission dates -- but it was set for 2010, not 2011.

I thought I might have my first ribbon, but it wasn't meant to be. :-(

Hello and greetings from the Critique Club. You asked for an in-depth critique of your image, and here it is:

Seriously - 4th place - how can I possibly give you any constructive criticism? The clarity and the BW tones of this image are outstanding. You said yourself that the crop is a little different than Weston, however, I feel it works for your subject really well. The hairs near the artichoke heart are a bit blown, but clearly, that affected nothing. I think it actually adds visual interest by creating contrast to the darker bottom part of the image.

I'm groping. It's a great photo. Congrats on a wonderful placement.

Best,

Alicia

Most excellent - delighted to be sharing the page with you. I'm laughing because our images are such polar opposites: yours is so delicate and bird-like, mine is a bit of a large hippo...
