Out of literaly hundreds of (handheld ) shots... this was the pick of the bunch - toughts/comments?

only some minor cleanups done in photoshop - a few bits of dust on the lens.

It is very dark. Hard to see anything.

I like the drop of water however it is very dark on my monitor.

I reckon it has some potential, looks like a whirlpool sucking the droplet in!

Anyway, I had a quick bash at it (hope you don't mind- let me know if you dont want it up) to get some more light into it!

Agree, cant see anything

The extra light does improve it considerably.

hmm... the point was to keep it dark and moody with the highlights helping to draw the eye in toward the narrow DOF - although perhaps my monitor needs to be calibrated as I've heard a few people say my shots (not just this one) appear dark

Anyone got any suggestions for calibration?

Agreed the extra light does help to make more detail visible though.

For what it's worth, the first photo is far better than the second. The second image shows far too many details and spoils the effect. It shows too much noise/artefacts (possibly caused by over sharpening and unnecessary detail that are better hidden. So if you decide to stick to the second one I suggest you use a filter to get rid of the noise.
