Hello (again) Ursula, from Crituque Club
By my definition, negative space is that area of a phtotgraph that isn't the main or subsidiary subject: so by that definition this qualifies admirably - and was one of the more memorable shots from the challenge. And an intersting take on a common theme too.
All the details are great - focus, sharpness, just a perfect level of non-focus on the background. I'm not sure I'd have used such a shiny object to drop the water - I'm no fan of that reflection - and i think also I'd have cropped the white area at the bottom of frame. But who am I to comment? 6.4 is a very respectable score. Pleasant also to see a shot where the negative space wasn't black, or simply plain: a more daring attempt than my own, for instance.
The refc=raction within the water drop is intersting here too - more so than such refractions are always intersting visually: appealling the way the loops of those black lines have almost completely changed to curls.

| It seems like the "pop" of this image isn't dependant on the negative space but rather on the inverted eye within the drop. Perhaps that's just the first thing I focus on but each time I've been through the images it just seems to be the focal point. I like the technique, the lighting you chose and the background image. It just seems to be a study in refractive composition (pun intended) rather than negative space. - 5 |

| I'm a sucker for water droplets. The negative space isn't very negative, but I gave you a 9 anyway. |

| Oversharp. Would be a 10 with the right focus and sharpness. 8 |

| The fact that the background is mirrored in the drop really makes this shot I think. Outstanding. |

| this is an interesting macro, but I think your background takes away from the 'negative space' concept here just a bit... the contrasts make my eye wander throught your 'negative space'... |
