I like your soft DOF and the fading pattern of the curls. The pink color in the water drops add wonderful color and interest. Nicely done.

Love all the curly stuff, the very short DOF works well here Cheryl.
Makes a great first impression, that's half the battle
Well done

Cheryl,
I love the curled echo effect and the droplets, maybe I'd have preferred that the first in focus curl was complete overall a very cool image.

Love the curls on this. Raindrops with the pink in them add an extra bonus. DOF/focus point is a little confusing to me. I think I would have preferred the bottom two curls cropped out the and the picture beginning with the curl with the focused raindrops. Love the overall look of the image; a wonderful find!

Thanks all and I can relate to the dof comments. It's so hard to get good dof hh and also with this set up I really need to get my tripod out more with macro and use it. It's just the body contorting I do for the shots makes it hard with a tripod.

Cheryl,
Neat image. I think I would have put the focus point somewhere else though. I see you were after the water drops but the those twisted heads demand your attention and really draw your eye away from your point.
