Slickbmwchick, Welcome

You've done well here: diagonal of reflection, three sections in reflected curb (?), three drops bursting, three rippled areas from previous drops, detail/action blur combined well, and a good cool pale green color. If I bought photographs, this would tempt me.

good work !
i like how you nailed all three drops in the same phase of the impact. good shoot.
the green/blue colour is also interesting
the only thing i'm not sure about is the dark reflection in the top right running diagonally.
