I love the silvery feel to the liquid here. I've tried one of these before and they ain't easy! I wish you had a bit more room at the top of the frame, as the main subject - the drop - feels a little crowded. Overall a nice job.

Lovely night shot. I'd clone out the fire on the beach and the tent below. Good exposure keeping the details in the ocean and still picking up the clouds in the sky. I've tried these shots a few times (with lakes rather than beaches) and haven't quite been able to balance it out.

Wow, interesting. CD cases. Have cool lines, but missing something.

Stairs to where?

Comment by ShutterPug:
seems just a bit static - not feeling the depth here. Have you tried a bit of shadow burning? this might help exaggerate the depth of the stairs. Also, I would recommend a sky gradient to help with the blown out sky.
This is not a bad shot - just needs some additional post-processing IMHO

I've never attempted a water droplet shot and don't have a good handle on the tech side.

I really like the detail on the center of the drop, and the softness and movement in the water. It doesn't have the hard frozen feeling a lot of watere drop photos do.

My eye is drawn to the small droplets and bubbles in the upper right corner. I think they could be cloned out to bring attention back to the drop itself. Also it might be cropped a little tight at the top.

It smelled even better...

Beautiful, but it doesn't seem to me strongly to fit the still life theme.

This does not meet the challenge - inanimate but not an arranged composition of objects.
