Feedback from the Critique Club! :D

This is interesting, but the entire photo appears out of focus and low in image quality. Grain created by the camera is annoying, and the reflections in the water droplets tells me this was taken on the counter in someone's living-room. That really takes me out of the photo. As George said, "it's just water droplets" and the entire image is pretty boring. Aside for those factors, it's a nicely composed shot. I wish there was something more interesting in the water droplet and I wish the background better fit the image, but it's nicely done. The DOF works as the droplets blur into the background. An ISO of 200 or 100 would remove the grain, and a faster shutter speed would sharpen the entire thing up a bit.

Hope that was helpful! Message me with any questions you have.

It's nice, but it's still just water droplets... not sure such a shallow DoF works here, I think a bit deeper (maybe the second one could be in half-focus?) would've been better.

Great DOF. Nicely taken.

Nice dof but I would not have been able to guess that those are waterdrops. In fact I have no idea what i am looking at here and I don't get any feeling of perspective either. 4

Very cool shot. A different perspective of the water droplet shots I've seen before.

Your ability to focus so percisely is amazing. Great job.
