 I love shooting water, and I love this shot. I think the colors work well together. To take the shot I used a pyrex baking dish and placed a print from my computer underneath it. I had two flashes on either side and the flash on my camera. I just held a dropper above the water and took a few hundred shots, lol.

Very good focus on water drop. I did a water drop shot for a challenge once; I know how hard is it. Even though the popular sentiment is that water shot are overdone, I got to respect the best realisation.

Although this shot is done many times it does look good and the out focus background does make it a little different to the usual

The picture is made because the drop is so sharp. your choice to leave the whole splash OOF is better than had it been partially in focus. The colors aren't awesome (they clash a bit), but I like it. 8

While the drop is nicely in focus, the backgound, being so out of focus, detracts from this image in my opinion.

i feel afraid that this type of shot loses its effectiveness because so many people pursue it in all the challenges...

it's interesting that the colors and focus are so clear in the single drop--nicely done!

I think the water should have also been in focus

I would have liked the colors to be a little bolder. I think you're facing some stiff competition in this challenge - there were some pretty amazing water drop pictures posted.
