Wow - this was yours? No offense, but I thought it really stunk & gave it a 2. I would have never dreamed it was yours - so many of your images have forethought & heart to them & this one doesn't belong there at all - you must have been desperate!

You know, I really feel like I choked at the start of this DPL thing, too - so you're not alone. It reminds me of when I first found DPC last fall & made the vow to enter every week no matter what - except now I feel like I doubled that load, ffs...
Anyway, what would I have done different? I remember distinctly thinking, "Why didn't the shooter try a long exposure on this one?" when I was voting. Which led me to think of doing a parody of the classic waterfall-long-exposure shot, except with dishes, bowls & cups. Hmmmm... nah!
Oh, you can count me out of *that* happy fluffy bunny party, too! ;~> Sorry I didn't add the above comment while voting, but with these 300+, 400+, 600+ entry challenges, its all I can do to just get through them to begin with. This DPL thing is making things rough 'round here, but maybe it is for the better in the end? Darwinism in this small world of DPC?
Good luck!

haha.
I did do long-exposure, it's just as bad.
This at least added a *modicum* of interest in the frozen drops.. I personally liked the texture in the metal too, but yah. I was desperate. I haven't shot a single thing I've liked since the DPL began.
I probably won't have *anything* in for week 3 at all.

I really like this. Was the red and blue in the faucet an accident? I think it adds a neat touch, like hot and cold.
No.. not an accident. I did hue-shift the colors that were there to make them a bit more pleasing, but I didn't want the image to stay completely monochromatic, so I but a couple of objects to the sides to reflect some color.
