I've attempted this shot many times, but never nailed it. You've nailed it, and it's a great shot.

I really like the contrast between the fluidity of the droplets and reflctions and the relative rigidity of the wood grain. Perfect exposure and color. A nice abstraction, which I scored high, despite the lack of evidence to convince me that the drops are truly waiting for the sun. Creativity in titling can bve important.

Gorgeous - not sure of the relevance to the challenge

Your picture has great colors and focus however, it really doesn't convey waiting except for the title. Just looking at it conveys "wet" to me - not waiting.

A very subtle but nice image. It is pleasant to "wander through the drops." Just enough color variation to add interest. Waiting is most stronly suggested by the title - not the image.

Nifty... I love this as a photograph, but it doesn't suit the challenge so well IMHO. 7

Great photo - nice patterns (isn't nature wonderful). Perhaps some side lighting to create some shadows would have added some oomph. HOWEVER - without the title - it doesn't really convey waiting.

This is a nifty picture, but there's no real center of interest. And really, it's not waiting for sun, it's waiting for someone with a mop ;)

Great photo, don't think it fits too well with the theme though...

This was probably the most interesting shot of the challenge for me. Better lighting would have probably improved it a bit, but who wants to lug lights out to their deck in the rain? :-) But even with natural light, this is a really excellent photo. Great job.

A cool photo, but really not having anything to do with the challenge imo.
