Looks like you are getting the hang of it. Try some different backgrounds...

Agreed. For some really special stuff, put coloured card behind the water trickle.

Also - in the final edit, I would crop the shot tightly, to give the drops more prominence.

I'm impressed - for two reasons - 1) the droplet seems to be very sharp, so you got the focus nailed, and 2) the "stop motion" is very good.

Best of all, I don't see any harsh effects of the flash - I'd like to get your recipe for flash on this one. Was the flash on a cord and way back, or what?

I agree with all of the above. A uniform background that allows the viewer to focus on just the water would be great but what you did so far looks great.

Really good drip shots. As mentioned, try a different backdrop (a piece of coloured card) and maybe lose the faucet- just get the water.

Really technically excellent - I'm impressed that you managed to focus on the water drops so well. I quite like the fact that there isn't coloured card there - I think that these are refreshingly different, and you get to see the drips "in their own environment".
