The focus on the droplets is very good! You could crop it down to the top of the white diamond to get rid of the greenish cast in the upper right corner, or you could fix that in editing. Now that the challenge is over, take it back and edit it the way you want!

Good try. You have a bit of noise though, and I think a wider dof would have helped get the water surface in focus too.

This is a great capture. Amazing detail reflected in the drops. But it seems a stretch to fit this challenge.

Gosh, this has never been done before! (Just teasing...) Do have to say I don't really see the connection to "Progress", though.

Well, it's an awesome photo but barely meets the theme topic to me.

Even though there has been a whole bunch of water-drop photos on this site, this is a fresh interpretation. I like the very selective focus. Its a bit of stretch for me as far as challenge interpretation goes, but its a wonderful photo.

Good idea but this shot is not enough sharp for me

I think everyone tries one of these shots in their life! This one is a good start but I prefer to see the water in focus too

very cool effect!!

I like that you used such a shallow DOF to put just those drops in sharp focus. :D The only improvement I could possibly suggest would be to use levels and possibly desaturation to make the dark tiles completely black.
