Really a fantastic shot. I wonder what it would have looked like 1/1000 of a second earlier?

Somewhat plain and slightly blurry in my opinion. I would have given it a higher mark if it was sharper.

Beautiful shot. I wish that ship wasnt in the background. Did you use a fill flash with this? If not, the light is gorgeous.

Love the image and I ranked it very high. I still think it is one the best images I've seen on this site. Unfortunately, I wish I could retract the vote knowing you didn’t follow the rules or sprit of the competition. It’s not fair to the rest of the photographers who followed the rules and didn’t deceive the voters.

I like the idea but the overexposure on the drops themselves is distracting. Since I have started shooting RAW formats I have been able to control my highlights with more precision. Perhaps that would have helped here?

This is a nice moment. However, in my opinion, the photograph is a little fuzzy and the color hue is distracting.

Just to blurry to be highly rated.
