		| | greetings from the critique club :) 
 first off i'de like to congratulate youon a great image. The first thing i thought when i saw this was it accomplishes the task of "gold". Then i saw the flowing ripples and the stopped motion and thought this shot has potential. One thing you should work on with water drops ( i realize they are hard without a macro lens, i use my 17-40 most of the time) is trying to get a more interesting drop. For instance and image like this
   
 also, why so many editing steps, everything seems ok until you used a dragonizer... why? this image in my opinion did not need to be dragonized, when i think of gold i think bright... when you draganize something it adds grain and decreases the "glamour" of it. Also i think you used a little bit too much neatimage, the background looks unreal instead of shallow DOF.
 
 overall an excelent image and well deserving of the score it got :)
 
 if you have any comments or questions don't hesitate to PM  or e-mail me.

		| | Beautiful!  I love how smooth the ripples are.  I'm guessing it was something thicker than water?  Honey, maybe? |

		| | LOL  You can put a waterdrop shot in any challenge!  :-P 
 Seriously though, nice take on challenge.  Too bad you don't have any gold (AU) in the shot...
