I really enjoyed this one because the water drops really capture the texture theme .....though it offers nothing in color contrast ...in my opinion...that is exactly what makes it such a great photo !!! You have to look deeper from your first impression of "What the heck is that ?" to realizing how very simple and artistic it truely is !!! Good Luck !!!
It's a little hot on the top of the photo and the bottom portion seems to have quite a bit of noise. It does meet the challenge but honestly it isn't that interesting to look at.... well at least for me.
A clever title conveying the overall sense of the image. Minor little negative detail in the light fade at the top left of the image and there is too much foreground to be truly effective with impact. If the bottom were cropped out and the top given a slightly different treatment - even a minor crop, it would be a top 25 image.
