Just a Drop

Greetings from the CC, a very appealing shot. Excellent focusing job, managing to get the droplet as a focus as well as the tiny bits on the icicles as sharp clear details. The over shape of the icicle is interesting, the monotone color sheme works well to unite your shot, keeping any distractions away from the viewer. My only possible criticism might be (and this is just an idea), to mirror the image putting the droplet on the right where the eye tends to go more and perhaps leaving a bit more space around the subject, especially on the left and top just to give it a little more breathing room. Overall very nicely done, as agreed upon by most folks giving you a very good score! congrats and keep up the good work.

Greetings from the CC, I love the feel of this shot, it is wonderfully composed. They are whimisically placed, yet have a feeling of intention to them. The larger number on them on the right, helps to weight your photo in that direction, making it very pleasing to the eye. The reflections are also wonderful. And despite this being 'soft focus' the sharpness still shines thru. The highlight of your shot is the foggy/silvery haze that hangs over it, giving it the feel of winter and chill. Your shot really does create a mood and a feel. I think it is a wonderfully executed shot. I am at a loss to tell you how it could be improved to be honest. The calm and emptiness add to its beauty and simplicity. Excellent work!!

Greetings from the CC, the color in your shot are really great, certainly IMO the highpoint. Matched by the intense look in your subjects eye, the focus and concentration are superb, I am curious if he is posed or naturally captured here. The composition is very well done, creating a diagonal from bottom right (with leg) to upper left (with arm). The sharpness is certainly present, even though 'softened'.
I suspect if this shot was in a bocce ball magazine challenge it would win the ribbon. I think the subject does not necessarily convey 'softness', being a sort of burly dude : ), I do not tend to rate shots on topicality and while this one has been, softened, the feel of his activity is not soft really. I think this is a very well done shot and my criticism is minimal in that it is very well done. Keep up the good work, you seem to have a good grasp of the technical aspects of photography as well as an ability to capture some emotion.

Thanks for all the comments- this shot was taken over the rocky mountains just south of the canadian border, taken out the plane window. It was pretty much a straight shot with some contrast added to take away from the plexiglass window, the money connection was simple, that travel is not cheap.
