 Cliche shot - I know!

Was trying very hard to replicate william88's multi-colored crown shot, but failed miserably. Need to ping him and ask how he got the neat color seperation! In the meanwhile, resigned to 5.0 or lower :(

Well done. Lovely crown. But you really don't need the border or at least make it thinner.

Very well done. I know droplet shots are done a lot, but this mixture of colors is more unique and interesting.

Complementary colors are green and red or orange and blue. Also, tired of seeing water droplets over and over!

An 8 from me... although I'm not fond of the washed out colors... the capture is brilliant!

Excellent stop frame capture. Technically I don't think orange and green are 'classic' complimentary colours, but not a vote loser for me.

Now how did you do that? That's clever set up and great photography.

On my screen, this looks orange and green. I'm not sure if you were going for red and green, or orange and blue. But I think it could have been fixed in selective colors...?

Technically complementary colours are red/green or orange/blue so you've got a bit of a hybrid going on here. Orange and green are actually "secondary" colours to purple. Although the title says "rubies" I think it's a strectch to consider this as red. The actual capture is nice enough, although this type of shot is done to death so you may get marked down by some for lack of originality (not me though). I do however feel that the border completely detracts from the image. The thin red line around the green just looks angry.

well captured; needs a big push in saturation and a slight color shift to red, though
