This is different. I think that the reason you received low scores is because it lacks "oomph". You know what I mean? Water drops are a great choice for the challenge. I like the way you incorporated the reflections into the title. I am not sure which came first, the title or the reflections, but whatever it works. Your drops are not in focus. The smaller one in the front is bumpy on the sides. There is a blue haze on both drops (that maybe intentional) that is distracting. I think that if your going to take a picture of a reflection it needs to be in focus as well. Especially on a macro shot. I only see one lamp in focus. The other reflections look so blurry. Overall--I think that your intentions were good but you needed a better set-up for this shot.
I hope this was helpful. Good luck in future challenges, not that you need it because you get pretty good scores!

Interesting abstract. I don't feel much from it however.

Fascinating shot - very unusual and would look great as a huge poster in a bar. Tops.

Title is to long for me and the focus is hard to find.

Oh man this is great... If only you could of used diffuses lighting so you wouldn't get that reflection! But great over all!

Very creative, and abstract. I like it, but I am guessing the voters don't (stupid voters).

Great colors and shape. I just wish something was sharp for my eye to go to.

Special prize for making me look longer than any other entry so far. It's a pointless sort of idea, which of course I like very much! It would be much diminished without the excellent title. As an abstract, it's got an appealing, organic sort of feel to it. 7

Interesting colours and reflections. Composition overall, with large drop above, doesn't quite work for me.
