Nice shot. I like the composition and the shadow too. IMHO it would be better with a less distracting background color. Good luck, nds

The background is not in balance with the subject. A bit disturbing. Takes away the power of an excellent focus on the leaf and the great shadows.
Somehow this reminds me of fireworks. :-)

You use different colors than I would choose. Photo wise it is technically good - clear, good cropping even though closer than I like personally, very representative for your culture. Could be from a text book. Definite 9 technically

This is a good shot for this challenge. This shot has a lot of potential! Personally, I feel that the background (everything outside of the drop) is somewhat distracting. Perhaps a tight vertical crop would have worked well. Or maybe shooting from closer, concentrating on the cross, the picture, etc. from a lower perspective? Just ideas... Nice shot, well executed. - JB
