Hilarious. You really did get %100 comments!

this was one of my favorites of the challenge. dark and blurry...just the way i like it, too. should have scored much, much higher.

I gave this a 9, I thought it was a great photo of a mundane subject, well lit, well toned. It should have scored higher IMO...

Thought I'd add some pigtails to your comments here.

Amazing feat, your commenting on so many of the photos in this challenge, due to being home sick and all that. And I very much appreciate your comment on my entry (as I mentioned before in the threads).

The reason I'm leaving this comment, is that, frankly, I didn't like or get this photo...I scored it rather low. Being one of those with pigtails, and given that no one else who commented has them, I felt I needed to point this out...

Pop top on a can (of beer?) presumably.

An awesome macro. I love the shallow depth of field and the way the light plays on the "grain" of the alluminum within the droplets. Well done.

The lighting makes this visually captivating. I mean, it's just a soda can, how interesting can that be? Well, made it look very interesting.

I like the subtle colors and back lighting of this shot. Great detail on the beads of water and the "brushed steel" look of the top of the can. Border looks nice too.

I like the use of light. It´s a very out of this world photo. Nice work

Normally I love shots with shallow DOF but here I feel that you used an aperture 2-3 stops bigger than would have worked to get all of the droplets in focus. Still way better than most shots in the challenge, keep it up.

Greater depth of view would have helped here

It is a beutiful shot, but I really wish it was more in focus. 7

Very clean, nice. I think the border helps it out a lot. I've got to try a border on one of mine. Good job.

Nicely done!

I think would have been worth another point had the focus zone been more on the "object identifying" pull-tag. A more blue light source might have bumped it even one more. Good concept. Keep it up!

What a great idea! nice composition, love the cool feeling tones. One of my faves in the handful of waterdrop shots for this challenge.

Cool photo and the shallow DOF works well for this shot. Very nice job.
