Ah, I recognize the technique from the droplets over the flag tutorial! Interesting use of it, but I'd look for this more as a "water" challenge than glass.

Comment by jmsetzler:
Greetings from the Critique Club...

The layout on this tripych is nice, and the waterfall is nicely exposed in the long exposure. When I first saw this image in the challenge, I couldn't really figure out what your theme or storyline with the series was... I did not make the connection that the two images had been combined for the center image until I read your notes here... I think maybe the theme aspect of the challenge could have been stronger overall by changing up the presentation a bit...

Keep up the good work :)

10 right off the bat! I didn\'t even have to think about it. This is great. Detail, Color, Composition... I say this finishes top 5.. if not Number One.

Nice shot. Sorry to say I have seen this too many times here already. High technical score, low in originality... Dave

this is a great effect..... unfortunately I have seen it done here a number of times... technically quite well done though... good luck, Todd.

I completely fail to see how this is glass. If the flower is pressed in a spherical glass paperweight which is photoshopped all over the screen, then it probably doesn't qualify for the competition at all; if not, is this just a bunch of reflections in ... water-drops?

I liked it better as a thumbnail - but that is a subjective comment and I appreciate the imagination that went into your work
