Hello from critique club :)

Hi there. Your estimate for this photo about right but a bit much. What you got is probably would be dream if I took this photo. You did ok because of the composition and the frame most likely.

I can say, the white portion of the photo burns my eyes, not pleasant to look at it. Is that the faucet in the drop? I can't even see the whole brand name in there, which would also be "score dropper"... Post process a little harsh. Not much, but sharpening or something got a little out of control.

Ok, because you had 70s ish look on this one (like a lava lamp) some folks gave you pretty good sores. If I voted, which I didn't, I would definitely get you either 3, tops 4.

(Oh gosh, I just checked your site, I remember giving you another critique before... Sorry, I hate to be rude to your photos, but please don't take it the wrong way. By the way, angle of the drop here looks better than the "Dripping from what??? Hmm...." photo.

I see you are trying though, please do keep up :)

Good luck on your next one :)

Leo

Nice, well executed and presented photo, but too often done.

I like the colors and think you did a really good job of capturing a droplet, but I think with more whole droplets it would pop even more.

Background is annoyinly bright for me and overpowers the drops

Good capture. I'm guessing you had to post process this to get the lighting higher. Also, I'm not sure the Dunkin Donuts logo appeals much in a Free-Study. 5

Wow... this looks like it was difficult to get. It seems a bit noisy and maybe oversharpened... at least on my monitor. (not voting yet)
