Something about this I like much better than the other chain shot. Probably the orientation for starters, and I like the black bg also. Good detail - nice and crisp. Good choice for a macro perspective.

this is plain and simple and looks great, the dof is perfect and the drops of water add more interest

This is really pretty cool. I like that it looks BW, but its really not. Great capture.

Oh, I really like the strength in this image. It is beautifully simple and the b&w is exquisite. The crop feels a little tight on the top, but other than that I think it is wonderful.

I really love this series of shots. In particular, you are getting such amazingly clean detail. I do prefer the higher key of your previous chain and the lighting seems like it was more difficult to control on this one. It's still very effective and the water drops add a nice character the the texture.

brilliant image ..
love the sharp details on the droplets and the way it fades off into the distance both with the dof and the perspective .. excellent with the white/pale blue background too .. :)

Great diagonal composition. I like the detail in the focused link - there is a lot to look at here. Good DOF and minimalism created by the stark background.
This doesn't look like it has had a B&W conversion to me - just a very good reflection of a grey old day.

Nice that you interpreted this in black and white. The starkness
and contrasts add to the interest. actually, lots here to hold the
view in the image.

Disgusting weather is good for pictures :) I like this. I like diagonals. It looks almost B&W (on my screen it doesn't look B&W, more like a very grey day with little bits of reflected colour). The image also feels almost minimalistic, not quite really, but on the way there.

The best part (IMO) of images such as this is that they're fun to look at just for the lines/shapes/textures/whatever; they serve as good studies for what you can do with shallow DOF.

The worst part (IMO) of images such as this one is figuring out what in the world you want to say with it. They are good studies, and good graphics sometimes, but how do you use them to connect to an audience. That's something that I really wish I could figure out.

Good work!
