[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An experiment from last October. I was practicing taking pictures of drops, it was very frustrating as I ended up with about only two passable ones out of maybe 80. The liquid was dyed lemony green by food coloring.

Good idea adding color to the water with food coloring, I would have never thought of that for a water droplet shot. What is the blobby thing under the water right below the drop? It makes a really cool orange-brown color in the droplet itself, which makes it stand out against the green. Very sharp and excellent clarity. The colors are beautiful. I do find that the flowers, especially so brightly colored, distract a bit from the water droplet and thus take away from the focus on the subject and the balance. I would have done a more vertical crop to emphasize the upward motion of the droplet, as well as change your vantage point so that you are slightly lower, looking at the drop at a 60 degree angle so that you can get the droplets themselves in-focus. Since the surface of the flat water is more in-focus. Hope that makes sense, I am sorry I am not very eloquent today :P. Excellent shot though and really great results, it was worth all the effort.
Oh, and I just noticed you live in Arlington, hello fellow Washingtonian! ;)

Hello Danilo,
you did well capturing this, the water droplet is well defined and has anice i shape to it.
What I like most about this shot are those vivid colors.
Well done.

Hi Danilo,
great catch! Very good details and nice colours. I love water droplets :) Don't worry about ended uu with only two passable photos out of many. It happens to me all the time, and almost funny, the first shot is the best one :) Strange, isn't it?

Kindly regards,
Ioana

Hello Danilo,
Lovely colours in this almost abstract composition!
I'd say this experiment was successful, and of course practice makes the master...
Good textures and nice contrasting colours!
