Water drops are clearly an area of photography that people are loving and there are some great images going up. However there are a few key elements that could improve the images I am seeing. Nice straight lines on your water bath is a must but most other things can be corrected or improved in post production, the issues are:

Exposure – Get you exposure up so it’s nice and bright.
Contrast – add more. Boom
Saturation – These images are all about colour!!!!
Clarity – This is the key to your image popping off the screen/print

Hopefully this will help you take your images to the next level and I look forward to seeing what you create. Please tag me in your shot for me to view them.

Good luck and happy shooting.
