Dave, I love the deep blue background as well as the water droplets. I like the contrast.

[Arthur Morris]

Love the droplets, the killer BKGR, and the detail in the whites and the blacks. All this needs for me is a bit more room at the top. WHITEs handled perfectly.

[Brendan Dozier]

Awesome, Dave! Super crisp, sharp. Swan contrasts nicely with vibrant blue BG, and as Artie says, whites are perfect. Like how bill came out, and water beads nice touch. Well done! :cheers:

Dave, you have absolutely nailed this portrait. Tack sharp, excellent exposure, and the droplets puts this over the top. Yep, a little more room on top would work. ( fairly easily done :w3 )

[Melissa Groo]

Agree with more room on top. In all other ways as stated, this portrait is perfection!

[Don Lacy]

Love the water droplets and the detail of the whites agree with the others on more room on the top.

[Ofer Levy]

Excellent!
