I love this! It's the most original drop shot in the bunch. Great use of lines (literally) & negative space. It seems like such a generous DOF I look forward to seeing the settings. Best of all, this is a well composed, real scene rather than just a drop (and don't get me wrong, I LOVE simple drops). Congratulations on a great shot and I hope you do well in the voting.
I can't believe how much I looked at that rope trying to figure it out. That is the kind of thing I would outright delete from my shots - not realizing the power it has to draw you to the shot. I am continually being taught. (bet your last comment was "get rid of the rope" lol)
Simple but effective. Water drop and ripples in the best place to show dimension and depth. I am bugged by the black stick (???) at the left-top and the shadow on the left side.
