Just hiding the absolut bit a bit too much.

Nice refreshing photo, is that a bottle of Absolut in the background?

Would have given you a point higher if this was of the Absolut brand. Still very nice, though.

I don't see the Absolut product in the photo. Is this therefore an anti-Absolut ad? Perhaps a bit too bland for an ad. (Except if cosmopolitanism is blandness, then it is spot-on.

Close but not Absolut-ly the right vodka for the challenge.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Lovely rose, delightful capture.

And at the outset, I'll say: "they look like bubbles to me. Probably soap bubbles, at that."

While I wish people would not get 'picky' about such things as 'drops' and 'bubbles' they do and that's just a fact of DPC life. When viewers/voters look at a rose, they expect 'drops' and see accordingly. From your score, it's nice to see that many voters did appreciate the fine image you made and its bubbles.

This flower lends itself to many interpretations. Your slightly soft-focus rendition is pleasing and the bubbles turned out nice and sharp, making a good contrast. Colors are excellent, placement in the frame is appealing.

I see you are fairly new to DPC. Keep those nice images coming. I for one look forward to seeing more of your work.

Sorry, I don't see the bubbles. It looks like a rose with drops of water. Pretty image though.

Very beautiful, the nice close crop gets the eye straight to the point with no distractions. I suppose some people will argue that they are not bubbles but water droplets. Personally I'm not that pedantic over such things. My biggest criticism is that the image lacks that final bit of sharpness that would make it great. I can't really tell where the sharpness went but I think you should investigate so you know in the future.
