Hello from the Critique Club!
I have studied your image and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective - the two dark green leaves in the upper right really help to keep this from appearing flat. The number of leaves allows for good variation in color and texture while not becoming busy. It comes across as a strong image through clear focus and sharp edges with well defined lines and textural elements. Well done!
Color - there is a multitude of colors here through solid presence and gradients. None come across as overbearing and the mix is a very pleasing blend of fall tones. The brightness of the water drops offsets and acentuates these colors nicely since overall they are on the darker side.
Lighting - this appears as though natural. The overall image comes across a little dark/muted. This helps to set a mood in concert with the color and the water. It could be a little brighter though. Not sure if processing darkened it or could have lightened it.
Challenge requirements - I think this is the weakest element of the image. Although some of the water drops are clearly transparent, a lot show just reflection. Overall, the element of transparency was not the strongest element of the composition although it is a beautiful and very emotive image.
Overall/my opinion - this image stands out as a strong, emotive image that is well composed and very well presented. But falls short just a bit as representative of 'transparency.' It should have been a stronger element in the image. |

| So did you buy a surrealistic filter at the photo store or do create this look from thin air? Seriously, I like the look and would love to hear how you did it, but it does look a tad overdone. |

| Great contrast. It just looses connection with reality, but perhaps that is what makes it look so good. :) |

| A nice natural still life shot. The colours are great and technically there is nothing to complain about. For me, this shot isn't as strong a Transparency photo as some of the other photos. Only the large pools of water are transparent, while the small drops don't give the impression of transpareny. Still, a very good shot with good exposure/processing. I still gave it a good rating. |

| The colours here are absolutely stunning, as is the texture. I'd gladly sell my granny to get colours like that. |

| I really like this picture, just really great stuff. BUT the transparent would have been better I think as a macro with the raindrops magnifying the leafy veins. I'd love to see this in an 8x10 or larger. |

| the leaves are beautiful and overpower the rain drops...the drops are so small that it's difficult to look through them as the title suggests. absolutely beautiful picture, with the colors and lines in the leaves. but imo, the leaves are by far the star of this pic. |
