Hello from the Critique Club,

I didn't vote the macro challenge so this is the first time I've seen your image. My first impressions are that the colors are wonderful, the lighting is well done, and the image meets the macro theme. For me there is too much out of focus area in the front of the image. Instead of providing a leading line to the water drop, it acts like a wall or barrier to my eye. However, I not a huge fan of the front out of focus images to begin with so I want you to be aware of this bias. If I had voted on this challenge I would have given you a 6 to start with for excellent execution of your idea and then compared it to the other submissions for creativity and possible bumping. Nicely done and a solid entry for this challenge.

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

I think the drop is an unneccessary addition - the image without it is BRILLIANT!
