The split color in the drop adds immensely to this shot. Well captured. One of my top pics for this challenge.

Wonderfully setup, shot, exposed and processed. To get the drop perfectly aligned and split in half, well done. -1 for annoying dust spots.

Wine glass and a water drop, all you are missing is a bug to make it a triple threat :) But seriously this is such a well done shot. The lighting is excellent, timing perfect and your attention to detail to set this up just right is great. My only 10 for this challenge. I will be very surprised if this doesn't grab the blue with around a 7.5 average. Good luck.

Comment by wiesener:
Nicely executed, but isn't this theme a bit worn out?











EDIT: I realize my comment might have come off a bit harsh. I don't mean to detract from the picture itself, which is very well executed. It is just that I joined the site merely a few weeks ago, and from the few profiles and previous challenges I had looked through I felt I had already seen many of these shots, which was confirmed by a search for "glass".

By no means let me take away from your motivation, this is a great shot! I love the small droplets breaking up the symmetry, and the choice of colors and lighting is impeccable. There is a slight bulge in the color line seen through the water as well as the "horizon line", and there seems to be some refractions of a white edge around the colored background, but those are minor details and don't really detract that much from the picture.

So, to summarize (and of course IMVHO):
Execution: 8
Originality: 1

:)

Cleanly and elegantly presented. In my top 3. Too bad about the slight diffraction through the center of the glass and the uneven horizon line--still very strong.
