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

    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.

    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!

    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 )

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

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