Marcel, just realized this was yours - so glad I gave it a 7! Very cute and funny, love the set. Methinks Sid is being almost a little too nitpicky with the reflections in the helmet, I never even noticed them. Congrats on the Canadian red! :-)

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the challenge

Congratulations Marcel, a well deserved ribbon to add to your growing collection. You've done an excellent job and created a fun yet convincing composition worthy of your successful result. I like all the background elements, the shallow DOF and lighting it all works well. Perhaps my only criticism are the reflections in his helmet of your pictures hanging on the walls, a consideration for your next home studio set up?

A pleasing composition Marcel. The foreground branch leads you nicely into the rest of the frame, the bridge is pleasingly in a complementary position. Good saturation of colours from correct exposure, smoothing of the water from a long exposure with good DOF throughout, technically, all good.

As I scroll down to reveal the image I'm looking at I try to guess whose image it is, I correctly guessed it was your Marcel. An interesting viewpoint that reveals a perspective that would probably not normally be noticed, well done for your 'seeing'. It would have been good to have biting sharpness right into the corners, especially the bottom left which may have been possible with a different focal point or smaller aperture or a combination of both

A nicely executed macro Marcel. Your drop is nicely sharp and well focused, I think perhaps the leaf is a little long and the DOF a shade too small although it could be argued that softness in the leaf helps emphasise the drop itself. I think you could have increased its impact and appeal by including something, say a soft focus flower, in the background that could have given you a sharply focused inverted image of itself in the drop. The black or any plain background isolates it without distraction but, as a result, it also lacks interest.
