Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: All are well done, colors are vibrant without being over saturated. Hues are pleasing to the eye.

Brightness and contrast: Brightness is at the right level for this type of image. Contrast is well done, nothing is overly bright or too dark.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is nice and sharp. Depth of field kept deep enough to keep the background soft and prevent overpowering the foreground, and sharp enough to be recognizeable.

This image reminds me of an old John Setzler photo. As already noted, the drops could have been done better. The misshapen and small drops distract from the well formed drops that form the sixes. Use of an eye dropper or pipette could help get you uniform drop sizes. A pattern, whether it be a sprial, or other shape might work well as opposed to the randomness here. A spiral in the same direction as the number 9 might look really good.

As is, a creative image, with some great colors and visual interest. I could see this hanging in a gallery or an office some place.

Nice work. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

I think water drops are on my list of things to learn.

Cliche of course, and the focus seems soft. Nice try though.

Not as cleanly executed as so many similar photos in the past.

the water drops are not perfectly symmetrical - I guess there is a little chaos theory in here ;-)
