Great contest!

This a very colourful and fun image. I love how you have the water drop exactly in the middle of the crown. I think it's very intriguing how you were able to keep enough water on top of the lensball to make the crown. The focus on the water drop in sharp and the colours make a bright bokeh. You have managed to capture the water drop brilliantly and it is spot to the brief.

This is an excellent image. The water drop itself is sharp and looks like it is suspended in mid air. The water beneath the drop, seems to me, to be ebbing and flowing and has a soft and silky quality to it. Your choice of subject was great, although it can take a lot of practice to get the shot you want, this is a great capture. The point of focus is spot on and the colours are subtle. This image fits the brief brilliantly.

This is a beautiful image. The ladybird is very clear in the water drop and the colours are nice and bright. The angle of the shot adds to the composition of image and the negative space draws the viewer's eye to the image in the drop. This is image is right on the brief that was set with a good selected subject.

This is a very beautiful and artistic image. It can be difficult to capture two seeds together in focus with water drops but you have succeeded brilliantly (I've tried but never seem to get it right). Your angle of the shot helps to get the focus of the main drop and create bokeh on the dandelion seeds themselves. The colours are very subtle and, in my opinion, help to create a calming effect. Your choice of subject and composition are great and are spot on to what was ask for in the brief.

This is a very beautiful image. Your depth of field is good, creating beautiful, colourful bokeh in front and behind the water drops. Your focus is spot on, making a few water drops in sharp focus. Your choice of subject is good, and the angle of your shot helps to focus on the water drops. This image is spot on to the brief.
