Cool - great blurry background so that those dew drops just stand out so well. Nice and monochromatic.

Very well done. Your depth of field is perfect! Nice job.

This has a lot of little things that make it likeable. The sunburst effect of the two drops, the alignment of the flowers, the nice bokeh. But in the end the overall presentation is lacking. I don't know what to tell you.

Nice simple background and good capture of the rain drops. It doesn't shout out to me though. I've seen this type of shot so many times on DPC. I understand the temptation---I've taken this type of shot too. It's a classic. But something has to be remarkable in terms of composition for me to want to linger. I think my problem with this shot is the monochromatic color scheme. Sometimes this works for me, usually when the color is fairly rich and saturated. In this case, it just seems bland.

Great shot. I like the simplicity and the way the droplets catch the light.

While this isnt a unique concept in this challenge the composition you have chosen makes this stand out from the others - good shot!

Could be called "After the Fall". A lovely, restful aftermath of rain. The buds are nice and sharp. Ozzes atmosphere. Well done

Tried to create a monotone (B&W) effect in colour. Thanks for your comments.

Strong and dynamic composition. Great job of getting some detail down at the ground as well. Very nice!
