COMPOSITION
I think the composition of this works well in part because the eye "enters" the frame in the top left and is able to follow the water down into the vase. The shadow behind it also sets up some nice converging lines.

TECHNIQUE
The focus here is great, adn you have captured the falling water nicely. I like the overall blue tone, but in the bottom, around the base of the vase, it looks a little odd to me. The blue looks almost blown out and causes it to seem an unnatural teal or aqua color.

OVERALL EFFECT
This is a very interesting shot, adn the blue (with the water) makes it feel peaceful and relaxing to me. It may have been interesting, though not better to crop the bottom of the vase off, then turn the picture upside down. Also, if the blue hues were not acquired in post-processing, a bright yellow or red flower may have added some color contrast. Again, not necessarily making it better, just making it different.

"Over filling a flower vase"? Nice shot. The angle works - so many do not. Like the colors.

Very strong lines-- I can almost hear the water hitting the bottom. Well done!

Nice idea and nice angles.
Personally not so keen on the water at the base of the vase and on the outside of it...

Love colour of the vase, water, everything. Like the colored shadow too.
Lighting adds a lot to this photograph.
Your idea is very original and focus looks good.
Good visual impact also.
