"They say time changes things, but you really have to change them your self."
I feel like there's too much clutter going on in the background which competes with the subject. I'd like to see it cropped in such a way that the background doesn't distract. I especially don't like the leaf coming out from behind the one with the droplets (merger) because it grabs my eye and leads it away. It's a great artisitic project, just keep working it. anne :-)

Critiquing art of any kind is utterly subjective. When I vote on your images, I look at several things. First, my initial gut reaction. Then, is it straight (if it should be); is the color correct or if intentionally saturated or desaturated, was it done properly and does it enhance the image; composition - if you intended a bulls-eye, unless it's an outstanding image that is really served by centering the subject, it'll get dinged; is the horizon dead center - again, unless there's an obvious reason that makes it a better photo, no points; is the subject interesting and uncluttered; is the image sharp; is the depth of field right for this composition, is there a catchlight in the creature's eye; would I hang this on my wall; is it an image I'd be proud to display; is it artistic or just a snapshot; does it move me; is there a message conveyed; is it documentary in nature and if so, does it tell the story in such a way it makes me want more. When I critique a photo in your gallery, I'm only suggesting what my subjective nature prefers. No need to defend your position if you like your image the way it is. If you give me constructive criticism on my pieces, I guarantee you I will take them to heart. I love to improve! Bring it on Caedians! Love, anne =D
It seems that the drops are too uniform for me. I like some of the your other shots a little better.

I too like the angle you shot. Colors strike me as well. Nice work.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Hey Brandon, again with the photographers eye. The contrast between the green of the leaf and the colour of the nicely blurred background is fantastic. Great depth of field, a lot of the droplets are deliciously sharp and crisp. I think the one principle that would have lifted this image is the idea of angles/diagonals. Caedes has a few hints about good rules for our photos HERE and diagonals are mentioned. Basically, if the leaf had entered the shot from either bottom corner and moved ACROSS the image (At an angle.) as well as INTO the image, that would maximise the impact for the viewer. A small thing like that can make a big difference to our shots.

It is not "The powerful attack the weak." it is "The fearful attack what they fear."
I love photos of water droplets - this is a great capture!!
