I don'T know how you did this picture but It's very well done! We can easily feel that the flower is too smooth to grab the water.

hehe run while you can, i like the watermark, its just cause you have such a clever name.

do you ever feel retarded standing over the sink with the camera, like, 'wtf am i doing right now?!'?

hehe, i like this a lot, it was worth the mericless clickety-click.

Nah, I feel retarded most of the time so this was no different, just got back ache from being bent over the sink [not in a good way]

ha HA! thats the best thing i've heard all day!! sure, you say it wasn't in a good way, but the picture says otherwise, well worth the back ache, probably more deserving of the back ache then the other thing you could be doing bent over the sink...

Beautiful I love the colours and the contrast in this piece.
The water on the flower petals really makes this piece eyecatching though. Beautiful stuff

Very nice idea, but the colour behind the flower doesn't seem to work well. A white / pale simple colour in the background would work better than what's there now. I like the droplets of water

I love how clearly you can see the water drops. It almost makes you want to slurp up the water from the flower. Or um, ok, maybe that's just me. But it's a great shot.

Excelent job, the timing for the xposure seems to have turned out perfectly. I love the large blob of water that is just about to hit the flower. It's an interesting scene, full of action and chaos, but at the same time there is a feeling of tranquility.

This is awesome! I lovelovelove the droplets of water on top of that lovely pink rose! That was a great idea running the water on it! Is that your reflection in the larger droplet?!?! Even if it isn't, it caught my eye immeadiately! That shadow, for me, best represents the title "drowning" because it is a person "inside the water"!?!?! I dunno . . . I just thought that was pretty cool !

It took me a while to find the watermark, which is good. It shouldn't be that noticable. I like the idea, and that center water droplet is awesome. Overall, very well done.
