robstComment by K3Master: I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, it's certainly a well detailed, smooth, clean, pleasantly aesthetic shot. Definitely causes a bit of a pause and a second look. There's also an element where the reflection of the blue looks kind of like eyes, thus adding a wonderful other-worldly aspect as well.
But then I hit the reflection of the drops in the surface, and the whole illusion is completely destroyed. It pulls me right out of the contemplation and back to "oh, right, this is just liquid metal on glass."
I guess what I'm saying is that I don't like the reflection for this particular shot, and feel that it detracts from the image as a whole.
Also, while I usually just let the ribbon winners stand without saying much on them, this is one of those shots where while it's a general DPC shot, my feelings are that it could have been so much more, and was moved to say something.
