 I know, another water splash shot! I'm still quite new to DPC, so I haven't got these out of my system yet :-)

Good color and capture! Seems a bit over processed though.

I like the concept here. The colours are great, there are no other colours that take away from the yellow and purple as in alot of other photo's in this challenge. It's very real and you can almost feel the textures and the coolness of the water, but it is slightly abstract aslo....Well done.

The sharpness of the lemon is there which is great. It is lost in splash. It's still ok though. Great job still. 7

Great complementary colours image and a great idea for this challenge. Some of the water droplets look a little OOF, small issue only. Well done.

you captured the water perfectly. I will want to check your shutter speed when this is over. The colors are great. 9

Very nice photo, but I would have liked for the colors to be more robust... This photo screams ROBUST ME! 7

I like the DOF and clarity of this image.

4 - Like the yellow, but the skin looks a bit 'odd', but could just be distorted under the water. Colors go quite well together. Otherwise, just not holding my attention enough. Perhaps a variation in angle, not sure. Also, looks like some gamma issues in the dark areas up the top, or could be some type of reflection, who knows.

Nice capture and color. In my opinion would be a littll stronger with more sharpness, especially in the airborn droplets.

Beautiful capture of detail and color while completely freezing the motion. Almost looks painted. Good Stuff.

I like this idea, I wonder what it would look like if you could capture the lemon only halfway in the water.

Very cool and creative. I'd love to see how you did it.
