#1 and #7 are the best; 

I wasn't your attacker yesterday, but I have to say that it is hard to make photos of flowers and leaves interesting; your focus on the water drop is a nice touch.

Personally, I've started cruising the photo pages of deviant art, because so many photos get published there so quickly it's easy to surf through and try to build an idea of the kind of pictures that work and the kind that are correct but boring. 

 By the way - how do you do a slide show? 

AU, do you really think you are helping?  Is your criticism constructive?  You're like the estranged 3rd husband of the 2nd cousin once removed that feels impotent when around the rest of us and so is set on destroying what the rest of us want to keep together.  Granted, it may not be perfect, but if we are content and happy here, why can't you just let us be???  Think about it, would you even be welcome in any other setting?  Would any other website allow you to post anonymously?  I'm sure what you are doing to Leslie is not the reason Cory allows you to exist.  And he does allow you.  No matter how potent you may feel you are, he can wipe you out with one swoop.  

I'm sorry Leslie, this space should be for you, but I can't ignore what he is saying to you.  You are a good person, a kind person, and whether or not he likes your work, no one deserves to be treated like that.  

Quack, quack.

love #6 (over 7) with all the drops in a row.

hard to keep the anon's in order. I know one of them that needs AA quality treatment quite badly. Oh, I couldn't resist. What a waste of space that took, not mine, his, or maybe I should say it's. Sign on as a registered  member, show us some of your great work! Then make the noise you are making now. It must be great for you to be such an authority as you claim to be. Interesting that it is at odds with everyone else.

I guess I'll be next. Armor up!!

Leslie, I love drip drops. I took on that had a good reflection in it and mirrored it up. Gave an interesting perspective. 

excuse me... they are all a bunch of crap with the exception of photos 1 thru 7, which I might say are quite good. Sorry had to grab your 1st line. (lol) :)

Sometimes I agree as to the non-critiques on this site. I have been posting since 2004 and there is not enough of it. If more would get into the process, layout, color, contrast, subject matter, etc blah blah type of critique as to "that is beautiful" then we all may learn through the eyes of others and blow off anon user comments unless constructive. After 35 years of shooting film and now digital, I can never give up learning from my mistakes. As seen through the experience of other photographers be pro or novice.

Keep shooting and enjoy it. Life is too short. By the way I like most of your work.

Went back to look again and 3 & 7 are my faves.  In 3, the focus and reflection in the drop is great and the sli. diagonal line of the leaf adds interest.  In 7, you have another nice diagonal and the drops are all lined up.  I find the background a little more distracting but not enough to bother me.

What does bother me is the personal vendetta that the au is posting.  This is not the place for such a tirade.  It's one of the reasons I started using Flicker and may be a reason to go back there.

Hope you can do as my mother always told us, "just consider the source".  It took a while to appreciate the wisdom of those words, but they're still appropriate.  Keep posting and critiquing.   I need it and benefit from it.  Will try to do the same for you.

For fuzzy, 4 was my best attempt at actually getting the drop falling.  But I see your point and I had those issues with all the ones of the drop falling from that shoot.  It was difficult.  I spent 30 minutes just trying to get a decent shot of the drop falling.  I didn't suceed very well.

And thanks to everyone for the critiques.  I'll keep working on it.
