Shot just don't do it for me. The background is distracting and products should look new so the dust and stuff on the makeup thing (I am a guy so don't know what it is called) is very distracting.

Could use some sharpness

Well done. Without a doubt this meets the challenge.

A couple of points: I do not like the softness of the water, I suspect this is almost entirely due to aperture, it's hard to balance this sort of thing, especially when you want all the light you can get.

Other than that, I do wonder about your choice of background, either a higher angle, or a background that didn't have a huge distracting black band.. Then again, I could see that particular feature being deliberate, as it does isolate the drop of water.

I see your code! imh I think you should have cropped a bit there on the left side to get that light spot out the top corner. I'm not good with lighting so I don't know how to correct this but those little reflections in the water are sort of distracting from your water drop. However, I can see the strips in the indiviual drops and I like that. Lots of work put forth in this photo - good job.

Comment by MinsoPhoto:
Honestly for me this is cropped, or shot, far too tight for the subject matter. I like the idea and the use of colors but for me the composition isn't compelling, it doesn't draw me in at all and as I said it just seems too tight. 5 from me.

As you've effectively asked for comments, here's mine:

It's an excellent capture, great colour, well exposed and in focus. I have a couple of problems though. In terms of composition I feel you could do with a bit more space at the top above the drop as it feels a bit too tight for comfort. I also feel the bright spot at the top left is something of a distraction.

I hope this is the sort of comment you were looking for.

As you've effectively asked for comments (is it working?) here's mine.

I'm not voting because I'm in this challenge, but I think I would have given you a 6. I like the "quality" of the image - i.e. it's in focus and exposed well, and more importantly I like the composition with the strong diagonals. As a "product" shot I'm not so sure about it. I feel that all the fragments make it look very messy so I don't think it sends the right message because of that.

Hope this is the sort of comment you're looking for.

I really like this. Area of improvement that I see is to make sure your pink doesn't have the crumbs of the purple in it (as on the left side of the photo. I would have gently blown out that side. I really like the composition. It sits at an interesting angle. Good job!

This looks like a murder scene. I wonder who started the fight? I hope she's ok though.
