I'm sorry that I didn't get the time to come back and be a little more clear on what I meant with my one-liner.

I've seen this type of shot done before, so I was comparing it to the ones I've seen. What I see here is that you've not allowed the viewer to really see what is in those droplets by leaving the shot too far out. I understand that sometimes equipment can be a real roadblock to this sort of thing, but for a shot like this, you really want the viewer to be able to recognize what it is you're reflecting without squinching up to the screen.

Focus is also a little off, which some commenters pointed to.

I was being a little super-picky on my original commenting and voting of this image. It's to my own loss that I didn't spend the time to really feel the image then, but I do now. The posing of the woody here is, at the expense of sounding like a kiss-ass, ingeniously done. To the point where I don't even see a woody now, I see C-3P0.

While I gave you a respectable 6, I believe had I come back to actually spend some time with this image, I'd have bumped you to an 8. Consider my adding this photograph as a favorite to be my way of repentance.

No, it still isn't the most perfectly technical shot, but to hell with that.

Clever idea, but the execution of the photo leaves a little to be desired for me to give this anything higher than a 6.

Amethyst

Get a little more strength in the color of the amethyst, and you're looking at a half point more in your score, or more, I think.

If this was my shot, I'd have tried to do some work in selective color or some similar adjustment (something that adjusts globally) to get that purple to stand out a little more. It's there but it's certainly not there enough for the voter, IMO.

Why is this familiar...? Not the shot, but the border. Experiment?

Try and avoid using titles of this like. People will be put off by it and will most likely penalize you for it because they may think you are trying for the 'sympathy' vote.

Always try and use the maximum pixel size.

It's unfortunate that abstracts are anathema to most DPCers.

I just checked your profile. This blue ribbon on a merry-go-round comes almost a year to the date after your *FIRST* blue ribbon on a merry-go-round.

I love that kind of wonky stuff.
