This was a very fun shoot, and I hate to ruin the shot for you, but the drop is actually sticky tack coated in ink, I couldn't get the right consistency to have an actual drop.

Clever work with the drop. I like these kind of tricks hehe. Good job with the composition. Only nitpick are those red lines in the paper, but we find what we can. I sure know how that works.
Great concept...I think I would have cropped off the bottom two inches...where the red starts on the paper (and it's not just because of the red, it's because the paper is looking a bit blown).
The red on the pages distracts me and makes this not as good as if the reds had been reduced, in my opinion. I like the concept and the paper patterns.
