This is a great photo -- I normally don't like dark, 'in-the-shadow' photos like this, but this one works for me.

The only thing that will probably hurt your score is that the yellow lemons are a really dull yellow in color -- if that yellow was boosted, or better lit, I think your entry would get a much higher overall vote.

Low vote from me because I didn't see the inside humor--didn't add up the preponderance of macro/flowers/frogs/shallow DOF, etc that I'd seen in the challenges here--once explained, I "get" it. Well done.

Based on the comments, this would have been the winner by a long shot had everyone understood the joke!

This is great work...it exposes (and even exploits) a large part of the dpc formula without coming across as bitter or sarcastic. Very well done and it is so very ironic that you were told it doesn't meet the challenge!!

I thought the RGB/droplets/flower/macro negated any need to meet a challenge!

Comment by KaDi:
Thank you for all your kind comments! I knew when I entered it that it was risky...there are a lot of new members here and some who take drops very seriously. The humor isn't evident and sarcasm, even when self-directed, can fall flat. I have learned much with my "drops" photos and will probably produce more when the mood (or excuse) strikes me.

Many asked what the little eyes were and where they came from. I'll post an image to explain soon. (Just a little busy today with Yellow Revisited.)

I was sure you would ribbon with this entry. Apparently, based on the comments, a lot of people didn't get the sarcastic humor of your entry. It is still a winner in my book!

Very cute! I like this a lot... I'm sure it actually took a lot of work, and it paid off with a very good image.
