Hi Rackat, I would love to use this image on my business card and letterhead (properly credited of course). Is it available for this purpose?

Well, it isn't real obvious whether 1 or 10 is the highest rated score, now is it? Perhaps they meant to score it a 10. For a long time looking through other photos I wondered whether a 1 or 10 was the high score. The problem comes from the fact that "we're #1" makes sense and the fact that 1 is at the highest (on your computer screen) or "top" rated spot, which you would tend to think of as the highest mark from its position as well. Why isn't there an indication anywhere by the owners of this website of what's high and low? It should be made plainly obvious with a legend or key right beside all ratings, wherever they appear. |

| I am sad when I watch this photo. All is unavoidable. A drop has fallen. I till not rise back. That bounce up, "action and reaction", when caught as a slice in in the dimension of time, is a hopeless attempt to escape from inevitability. The tiny column of water will fall down and then push up a similar hope. Temporary. Sad... Colours are sharp and crude. Nothing subtle. Almost like black and white, only multidimensional. This is why it is so BEAUTIFUL. So CRUEL !!! |

How do you get such a clear picture with such a low shutter speed? Come to think of it, everybody seems to be able to do that but me. That water must've been splashing awfully sowly to get such a clear shot of the splash. Whatever the case, I'm impressed. Definitely a favourite. |
A nice fast flash could have done the trick. |

Wonderful shot... My highest rated shot for this challenge... Congratulations Rackat and I agree with PTL's comments earlier you are just getting better with each challenge!!!
It's hard for me to believe that a member would be so callous as to score anything that was sincerely attempted a 1 much less give something as nice as this a 1.
Good luck in the upcoming challenges.
PS... I would love to see a tutorial on this shot. I love this type of photography and would love to be able to reproduce this stop action.

I don't know who gave you the 1 (i'm not a member, so it wasn't me) but I wonder if that person would have given you the same critique as mine :)) ...and mean it!
Kate, I personal congrats on this fabulous photo. I think it would be worth doing a 'How To' for this one. Regards. |

...from Critique Club...
Hi Rackat...ain't I lucky..they assigned your photo to me..ha
FIRST IMPRESSION:
Horrible shot...what were you thinking????
COMPOSITION:
Totally off. It would have worked much better if it were upside down...and reversed horizontaly.
TECHNICAL:
Focus is toooo sharp. Lightin is poor, cause the dark parts are dark...and the light parts are light. DOF is hard to tell, so I won't comment on that.
ARTISTIC:
Completely boring to look at. There is no dynamic to your photo, it's flat, uninteresting. Oh, and it does NOT meet the challenge...there's nothing 'Free' about this 'Study'
OVERALL:
I am very disappointed in you, Rackat. I enjoyed most of your work, but this is just plain horrible. I expect better next time.
Best of luck in the future. Don't hesitate to PM me if you have any questions about this critique.
Cheers...zadore.
...and now the serious part :) I don't have to repeat what everyone has already mentioned about this photo. I hope some day to create a piece of art as great as this.
CONGRATULATIONS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB!!! :) |

| this is just gorgeous! im trying so hard to figure out what the bottom is made of...whatever it is, it makes this one of the best of these shots i have ever seen! the clarity of the drops and even the ripples is perfect. i wonder what it would have looked like with the drop a little less centered and backed up towards the left? no matter, tho, i love it! very nice work! |

12/12/2002 01:24:05 PM |
| amazing. I think this one should win and will be surprised if it doesn't. It has definite visual appeal in the composition, and is taken as well as a photo can be. I'm sure someone will grumble about the rule of 3rds or something like that. This is super. This is my odds on favorite though - Inspzil |

|
12/12/2002 08:18:05 AM |
| Very good work, technically. The colours below the surface were a great idea. I just feel a bit cold looking at this though, because I've seen so many water drop photos before. For what it is, it's very good, and deserves a high rating, and originality isn't everything, but it doesn't grab me on an emotional level I'm afraid. |

|
12/11/2002 10:56:06 PM |
| Omigosh!, this is awesome! The first thing to strike me, as you might expect, is the vibrancy of the colors. Upon closer study I am captivated by the circles suggesting movement and the drop. Very, very nice work. You should be proud of this and this may be the winner! 10 |

| Great stopped motion shot this (you could have entered it in both challenges this week ;o). I'm curious as to whether the colours on this are part of the bowl, or whether they are actually in the water itself. |
|
|
|
12/11/2002 12:39:30 PM |
| I have seen this been made before and this one is very good too. The water is perfect but I´m not so happy about the background. Everything is perfect except the colours in the water. But it´s me - I´m not so fond of strong colours. (7) |

|
|
12/11/2002 08:25:58 AM |

|
|
12/10/2002 09:53:26 PM |
| Great stop action, I absolutely LOVE the colors in this. This picture is really neat. The only thing I think would have improved it, was if you had not had the photo centereed... maybe to the right corner would have been nice? Just personal preference. Solid 9! |
|
|
|
12/10/2002 09:06:32 PM |
| Wow, amazing stuff. The colors are great, the only problem I have is the lighting -- it should've been more uniform so less shadows appeared. |

12/10/2002 08:44:23 PM |

12/10/2002 10:31:16 AM |
| The colors are great in this and makes it a really ineresting stop-motion. Without the colors, this would be a fairly typical, been-there, done-that stop motion. Your lighting is perfect, not hot spots to speak of. Great job! |
|
|
|
12/10/2002 12:47:48 AM |
| I simply love it. Colors, focus, clarity, angle and framing/cropping. Everything. You've done a great job with this. I guess I do have one tiny nit pick, which is probably difficult to avoid, but the reflection of the water "tower" in the bottom center of the photo is a little out of place there. Not distracting, but odd. possibley cloned out outside of the challenge? I could look at this shot for a very long time. Good luck in the challenge. |
|
|
|
12/09/2002 11:13:52 PM |
| I did vote this a 9 but came back and decided to give you a 10. I love the colors! The lighting is great. The water looks so smooth. The focus is perfect. Very creative. Good luck, but I am sure you don't need it. ;) |
|
|
|
12/09/2002 09:58:14 PM |
| GREAT shot. All of the colors captured in the drop are wonderful, it was a great idea and was executed very, very well. The bottom of the shot is maybe a tad dark, but it doesn't detract from the overall effect. 10! |
|
|
|
12/09/2002 09:48:39 PM |
| Awesome shot. The only flaws in the shot are dust specs or something of the like. The most noticable one is the white spec on the orange blotch on the right. Outstanding picture though, nearly flawless. |
|
|
|
12/09/2002 09:40:29 PM |
| Very cool! Is this different color oils on the water to create the effect? Or something under the water? Either way this shot = 10 |
|
|
|
12/09/2002 09:34:44 PM |
| Fantastic, amazing colour and capture! Is it the bowl that has this pattern on it? Good Luck, but I think you dont need it with this picture!! |

| The way, a single instance is captured in this image is exceptional; and the way it is returned back into the mosaic of time, through your use of coloured background, is even more astounding! The saturation is perfect, and the clarity is excellent. A very fine example of what it means to be a photographer, congratulations! |

| The is by far my favourite photo in this challenge. To be honest, this concept has been done many times, but not so such an excellent standard as this. I love the array of colours you have used, and it just looks fantastic! My only 10 vote this week! |

| Very cool shot. Colors are great and the stop motion very nice. I see some shadows that I don't quite like, but it is a nice shot. |

| Just when you think that water drop photos are old hat, a dime a dozen, along comes one that makes you sit and stare. Amazing! Wow! Beautiful! The color, the lighting, the contrast, the focus, wow! 10-10-10! Wish it could go higher. |

| Woo...this is a neat one. Ive seen this idea a million times but not like this. This ones gonna be near the top. The only thing I dont like is how dark the reflection of the faucet is. |
