 Old bamboo wind chime. Taken in my backyard. Drips were formed from melting snow dripping from my barn roof onto the wind chime.

Hi, Critique Club here...

I like your interpretation of the challenge and I think the interesting photo was well seen.

I like the drip and the reflection, but as someone else said, the background is just too powerful for the subject of the chimes. I also would have liked to have seen the two main chimes to be tack sharp, where the one on the left, in particular, is soft. It appears that the tip of the one in the upper left is the sharpest of them all.

Of course this just one person's opinion, but hopefully it will give you something to consider.

Unusual composition, I like it. Love the refraction through the droplets. Great color. I just wish for more setting for a "garden" photo.

Nice subject on the bamboo wind chimes. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) however I think the BG red and white detracts horribly. A black card or cloth would have made this a stunning shot with nice close-up on algae and water and aged bamboo texture.

this is cool, I think I would of liked to see a tighter crop on the bottom half of this, help see those cool waterdrops better, 7
