Kinda big, I never remember to resize my pictures.
But its a reflection of a hibiscus flower in a raindrop, on the same hibiscus flower.

I think the 'bigness' works for this image, letting us better see the reflections in the drops. This shot would have worked as well for the shallow depth of field assignment. Pretty cool. I like how the stamen (??) is not on the half line of the image, but above it. Was it captured that way or did you end up cropping?

Wow. This was a technically difficult shot! How did you end up metering for the watch and its reflection versus the bright sky background? I believe I see grains of sand on the wrist. Was there sand near the head of the person being reflected in the watchband that might have acted as a 'reflector' bouncing light toward the watch? This could be a 'product' shot for a catalog. Nice, nice work.

Here's one more from me on this:

I would really REALLY like very blunt, direct critique on this!

It lends itself to a variety of different crops for varying effects/moods, and so could be 'mined' for more images than just this one.

This image itself might change in mood with a curves adjustment layer for accentuating contrast. The top of the structure becomes a bit lost against the sky. This isn't necessarily bad, but is it achieving the effect that is wanted?

zandman, I was trying to figure out where you could have been shooting what I thought was your third photo, to get the fetus and the fish in the same shot. Then I realised that the fish are in a separate photo, just along side the other, rather than under the other. Talk about optical illusion.

Fetus? And I thought that was a cut-scene from 2001 - A Space Odyssey

Where did you get the photo of the fetus zandman?
