Critique by ~Melran Jan 19, 2011, 1:37:33 PM

This is very beautiful! I love the concept of using a water with glitter on it. I looked at your other ones too, and also liked it. The colorful effect really makes it seem like jewel, too.

I like this concept, as I have seen zodiac series but never birthstones! But I do think your photos of all the gemstones seem a bit overused. It looks like it was taken by the same water droplet and set, which makes it a bit repeating. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, but it gives me the idea that you're not trying to think of other ideas like putting a water droplet on some other places that are the same color of the birthstone you are trying to recreate. I liked the diamond one because a feather is white and it really looks like a diamond in surroundings that are in its natural color. Maybe instead of just putting a water droplet with glitter on just feathers, you could've put it on a purple flower or something. It looks like you are just taking multiple pictures of the same thing, just at different angles. I wonder if you are...?

Putting that aside, I absolutely love your technique and editing here!

The soft glow and the blurry edges give off a dream-like feeling and the little pieces of feather stuck to the droplet reminds me of a cracked gemstone, imperfect but beautiful. I like how you put glitter on water, I have never seen or thought of doing that ever!

Overall, I love it! It's a beautiful work of art that deserves the appreciation it's getting.

Hmm, how do I say this? This kinda reminds me of when I was young. I always loved to imagine sunsets with majestic colors, purple included; in fact I once made a drawing of it, but it got lost. Still, this picture really reminds me of it... Nice~!
