Your lighting really gives a 3d effect, after studing this image, I tried some new lighting myself. Thanks for the great image, it's been a great study for me.

Great use of color.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/12/2004 07:17:53 AM
Wow, that's amazingly close! Nice lighting of details. This picture could be improved a bit by working around the reflections from your softbox. And there's just a wee bit of dust on the upper right. Overall, good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very sharp detail, but the lighting is a bit harsh on the right of the drop. Try diffusing the light source a bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/11/2004 01:13:31 PM
Awesome! I love the detail in this image. Is that corn syrup? It doesn't look like water. :-)

Great color tool! My only criticism would be that there are some JPEG artifacts i n the upper leftish corner, on the bottom side of the left edge. And the other edge of the leat has some sharpening/JPEG artifacts as well. But I'll try not to let that distract me from this great, simple composition!

This should get in the top 20, though that might be hard because of the sheer number of entries...

Nice use of contrasting colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/10/2004 12:58:53 PM
Beautiful, I really like the framing, it sets off the red.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/10/2004 11:37:50 AM
nice clarity and focus, like the red too. The square reflection right of center is a bit off, but really, I don't think it makes a difference.7

Nice simple composition and juxtaposition of primary colors. A little oversharpened for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love this photo, it looks like the leaf is bleeding. If the drop were clear it would look more like a tear drop to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/10/2004 05:23:38 AM
Really great focus and color - my favorite of the challenge so far.
