It's a drop? Sorry, but I think it's too many tinsels, I can't see drop and it's looking like blown away drop . Good luck

well, no matter how many tinsels are there i think the fact that is a drop its obvious. If you like them being so many or not, its a matter of taste. The problem i see in this picture (which along with the other 3-4 drops i've published here it's my very first attempt to take a picture of a drop) is that the drop should be more focused, but unfortunately i saw this in post-processing. I decided to publish it anyway thow.
Have a nice day.

Hi!
I really like the colors. Especially that they all feel very warm (no blueish-green for example)
Also the texture on the "droplet" and the surface is very interesting.

I agree with luckydesigns that the focus could be a little bit better for a macro (smaller aperture and manual focus + tripod should help you). And I like it when the main object isn't exactly in the middle (just try some compositions out and compare - golden ratio for example) - since for me that makes the picture more "static". So in this case maybe crop a little bit from the bottom.

All in all a very interesting and harmonic macro.

Thank you for your feedback! I agree there's a problem with the focus. Each time i learn something new about what to avoid or what to do better and more carefully and i feel there are many aspects in which i should improve
anyway i'm happy you like it have a nice day!

Yeah it takes time
For some projects I go to the location a second time after I checked the first pictures to see what i can improve.
But of course thats only possible in some cases.

I think this photo is absolutely gorgeous! Great work! ^_^

The bokeh patterns really look great in the way that they are spread about the photo. They give the photo more..texture or depth, I suppose.

I do like the focus, but i think that the top of the waterdrop/sparkle could be a little more in focus, if you know what I mean.

I'm not sure about the composition either. Part of me feels that there is a lot of space that could be cropped out, but i'm not sure.

Overall, nice work!

ye i think focus is the biggest prob. but unfortunately it was something i noticed when i transfered the pictures to my computer next time i'll work more with it... As for the cropping it's just placed in the middle But maybe i could discard the upper part
anyway, thank you very much for the feedback! it's something i always need in order to spot the flaws that i miss in my photos
