Minor blurring done around the droplet, and sharpening done aswell.

Minor sharpening & blurring done.

Feel free to comment on ways to improve, as it does help. Also please comment on what other things should be done to them in photoshop.

#1 - Superb use of the B&W with subtle colour.

#2 - I feel that this photo would benefit with the subject being larger as it seems lost in the rather colourful background

#3 - As per #1

#4 - Now this is IMO an excellent use of receding perspective DOF. Colourful, sharp where it needs to be sharp and almost 3D.

Andrew - you have a great eye
