I like it Aiki, the reflections, patterns and design, but feel the bottom right takes my eye away, I think you need to just crop it like this, IMHO!

I like it the way it is actually Aiki. Very clear and I like the patterns/refections.

Or....perhaps cropped to a letterbox format to emphasize the rings of water drops and accentuate the diagonals of the highlights. And just a tweak of the blues.

I'm very into square crops as a rule but in this case I think Martin's letterbox crop works perfectly - lovely colours and textures Aiki!

I think I prefer the versions with all the raindrops left in (sorry Lilly).

They would look great blown up large.

Thanks a lot !
My variant is alredy cropped a bit from the bottom
But it may really need some more cropping.
If I had done better focusing and DOF, the lower part would have been better All my fault

I actually feel sorry if I have to crop out the drop-rings above. These make the pic alive for me.
I like it myself, but as far people start to look for ways to make it better (including myself), its defenetly not very good one.

May be one day .... I will make a perfect shot

Showing water pics to me is never a bad thing. As has been shown you can make many great pictures out of this one just by different crops.

My eye is drawn to the upper right and I like what I see there.
Lower right would make a good abstract shot.

I like both suggested crops and cannot make my mind up which one I prefer.
