About the Image(s)
This is an older image taken back in 2012 in NH at my local back yard frog pond. So when it rained I could go right out and capture the drops before they dried up. I processed the original image for a color critique. I used a different editing path by using Ps Glowing Edges filter, and then combined a layer from the original image and the Glowing Edges. I failed to make note of the blending mode but similar images used differential, linear or overlay. Somewhere in that process the water drops become more contrasty and pop. The B&W was an easy convert from color to BW in LrC. My data was iso 640, 185mm on my 28-300 on my D300 at f13 at 1/250 sec. Yes, I consider it an abstract.

My only (small) suggestion is that you add just a bit more to the top and complete the large bubble that is cut off.
Nicely done!

Pond leaves have never looked so good! Your processing did a wonderful job of bringing out all the small droplets, resulting in a very pleasing texture. The intersecting lines and the circular shape of the largest bubbles provide interest and balance, and draw my eye throughout the image. Well done!   Posted: 05/07/2022 22:29:35
You really did a great job.
Everything is like in the tutorial, there are lines and shapes and texture.
I loved it.
Well done!
Sincerely,
Israel

I have no corrections to offer. Now you have given me a second reason to get out of the house! Thank you!!

This is an amazing creation. The large drops and the numerous small sizes give your eye plenty to examine, and the leaf edges act as leading lines.
Stunning photograph

The b&w treatment you applied to this picture enhanced the impact on the viewer for sure. I certainly like to have this image hang out on my wall! I have no comments that could help, just personal preferences.
