Hello Pavel from the Critique Club,

Composition
There is no single point of interest - the six water drops are the main theme and they seem to be randomly placed. The wood grain background running at a diagonal is probably the best choice. Somehow the balance is not quite right for me - maybe if the drops were placed in a defined pattern,(circle, square, diamond?) it would make more sense.

Focus
You have used a fairly shallow depth of field, which is good for drawing attention to a particular item or area but there does not seem to be a reason for it. Maybe a deeper depth of field (smaller aperture=higher f number), bringing all the drops into focus might improve the image.

Exposure
The expoure looks just about right, any more and the highlights which are already blown out would become intrusive, any less and the image would be too dark.

Challenge
Does it fit the challenge? Maybe in the context of capturing a macro of water drops, which is unusual but maybe not quite extraodinary.

Overall
Sorry but the image doesn't seem to have any purpose. If your intention was an abstract, then perhaps it needs more interest. If your intention was to stretch your photography - great! Keep shooting.

Not too sure about this image. I guess I can't work out what the photographer is trying to say.

Nice color and texture - but I don't get much else.

How on earth did you train them to leap at the exact same time??? LOL

the first "clone" isnt in focus... and how is it extraordinary?

Haha cool effect! Good job.

This photo does a good job of hitting the 'extraordinary' theme. I like the clarity of the orbs, but I'd like it better if something unique/ interesting was reflected in them. The table is pretty ordinary (looks like an oak tabletop). Perhaps a more highly figured wood or something totally foreign looking would've made a better backdop. Overall, though, really nice photo.

Unique take on water drops on glass idea. I like the light spots beneath them, but not sure about the X's on their surface.

06/30/2004 09:17:01 AM
