Critique by ~iluvmykats Nov 2, 2009, 8:31:50 PM

At first glance I thought, "Wow what a stunning photo, a little cliche though" but upon seeing it full size I noticed the objects in the droplet. Whatever is inside the droplet add so very much more to the photo, it's like another photo within the photo. The way the feather fades out is perfect, not too much is in focus, not too much is out of focus. Plus the shape of the circles in the background mirror the shape of the droplet-it's very pleasing to the eye.

I say it's cliche because I've seen VERY many droplet photos, about half of those being droplets on feathers, and the other half on leaves/flowers. Still very cool though. Maybe try playing around with droplets on objects people haven't thought of, like a pair of reading glasses (which could convey emotion).

The colors are beautiful in this! Maybe because I have a bias for purple

It's really great how the little bit of yellow in the feather is also represented in the droplet.

Very lovely
