Miserable

Just a bit of experimenting, I was lookingto get a more graphical image, and the only processing on it is B&W conversion in ACR and slight sharpening.

Thanks for any comments.

You're depth of field is interesting. I'd almost like to see just a smidge more of of the water droplets in focus... Or perhaps move the focal point more off center?

Maybe if the depth of field was expanded to include the wiggly line of water along with some of the droplets...

I think it's a nice pic... playing with DOF is way fun!... But it doesn't jump out at me... Not sure what it needs, though.

I agree, the line of water in focus would have brought more punch to this shot, thats where my eyes want to look.

if you want it to jump out at you, you could try point focusing on just one of the raindrops but that would definitely require a tighter crop to accentuate the effect (the raindrops are too small in the picture)

Thanks for the comments, I agree it would've been nice to get the wiggly line in focus, but to be honest when I was setting the shot up it wasn't there, so literally when I was about to hit the shutter it appeared!
