This is a beauty! The sharp water drops on the back and the reflection in that gorgeous water put this over the top.

Really lovely shot, Richard. I really enjoy the symmetry of the smooth water and reflection. The little water drops on the back add nicely as well.

Richard:


Three things raise this above the typical excellent silhouette:

The glassy, brassy water.
The Reflection.
And the water beads that add a touch of "life" to what is otherwise just an abstract, graphic outline.

Better than excellent.

The silhouette is excellent but that water really takes it over the top.
