You froze the waterdrops very nicely. Also, the concentric circle pattern in the water is displayed very nicely.

Ah, someone managed to get the droplet-in-mid-air to work. I have some shots that didn't make it to TOPE where either the timing, or the focus, are right -- but none with both. Very nice; the trickle just leaving the end gives a real sense of flow, rather than just a drip.

Great shot. You caught the stream of water and the drops perfectly. Good focus, great color!

Beautiful contrast between the rough surface of the bamboo and the smmothness of the water. Techically excellent as well.

I have a new favorite shot. This is an exceptional composition. Outstanding.

Nice shot. I might like a bit cropped off the left, but it's a terrific shot!
