Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club Stephanie, welcome to dpc and congratulations on a new personal best ;)
First Impression: repetition, repetition, repetition, I love it even though I had no idea what I was voting on (it was a 7 btw).
Composition: The square crop works well for me and the in focus 'things' pull me nicely through the image starting from the bottom right. My only nit pick would to have had a single oof 'thing' in the bottom left to anchor the image a little more.
Subject: If I'm honest, whilst I love looking at flowers and stunning landscapes (I could go on) they do bore me these days so something a little different is most often well received by me and this is one of those times.
Technical: I like the overall exposure but there are quite a few blown out areas and whilst there is a clear line of in focus 'things' nothing is tack sharp. I wonder how this would look in B&W but think the subtle colours in this was the correct choice. The out of focus areas are a bit rough and whilst I prefer this version I think you may have scored a couple of tenths higher by using neatimage (or similar) to soften things a little.
Final thoughts: A great subject for the challenge, well composed and shows a good eye for the unusual subject, I like it and thanks for submitting! |

| The charm in a shot like this is the uniformity of pattern. The water drops break that up and kind of muddle the shot. I'd love to see this shot again without the water drops |
