Water Droplets - Photography Contest [62 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

67.9%

Contest goal:

This is for my good friend kyricom, and his hatred of water droplets! In this contest, show us droplets of water. You can have the drop reflecting something, dropping into something or just plain sitting on something. No people or animals are allowed in the shot - strictly nature.

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

Suggested by: MnMCarta

cocor: The future starts right now MnMCarta!!!!!!! ( 5 years and 3059 days ago )

xogx2002: woot!! MnMCarta is bout' it on this one lol. ( 5 years and 3059 days ago )

kyricom: WATER DROPLETS!!!!!!!! People who put water droplets on flower petals should have their eyelashes plucked out, one by one, by a thumbless, far sighted sumo wrestler using pick axes! The eyelashes should be used by Christine O'Donnell to cast a spell causing them to hiccup and fart every time they pick up a camera!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! ( 5 years and 3059 days ago )

cocor: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights should include an article containing strict prohibition of water droplets shooting!!!
Meanwhile I sign kyricom's Act of Rebellion. ( 5 years and 3058 days ago )

MnMCarta:

kyricom: Huzzah for cocor!!! Yes, Yes!!! Arise and join us, brothers and sisters! Throw off the shackles of the tyranny of mediocrity! Peel the petals from the flower so no droplets may adhere! Destiny calls upon you to straighten your backs like MEN and WOMEN! Glare into the eyes of fate with the righteous indignation of the oppressed and rage at the droplets!!! Let no droplet on a flower petal bend the knees of your originality EVERMORE!!! Show your primal force by not having a single entry in this theme with a flower petal!!! Do NOT conform! Do NOT surrender!

( 5 years and 3058 days ago )

cocor: Amen! ( 5 years and 3058 days ago )

UncleJimmy: For you and you alone kyricom....I promise to not enter a single photo of a flower! I join the rebellion!!! ( 5 years and 3056 days ago )

kyricom: As with most movements of justice, our numbers swell! Thank you, itsmymoment! Join us, bothers and sisters!!! Squash the perpetuity of the mundane! Drag the droplet back to respectability! Show the world the resilience of creativity! Join us! Join us and be the envy of those without the fortitude to stand up!!! Death to tyrants, and demise to flower petals!

( 5 years and 3055 days ago )

MnMCarta: I suggested this and I haven't entered crap! I cant think of anything original and trying the water drop poppin outta the water after dropping didn't work for me so now I'm mad...

( 5 years and 3053 days ago )

EmiK: This has happened to me so many times, I know how you feel MnM = ) ( 5 years and 3048 days ago )

MrEblokify: how come voting is still going on? ( im new to this so im just figuring things out.) ( 5 years and 3048 days ago )

EmiK: Yes normally the votes end on Sunday, so I'm also little surprised, but maybe with the Holidays the Mods are busy. I hope nothing bad happened to anyone. ( 5 years and 3047 days ago )

Soccer, balls

jawshoewhah [banned] says:

Hmm, I am guessing I know who you are from a previous contest. Am I right?

jawshoewhah [banned] says:

Yup! You really need to share this little trick with people, just a description would be nice. it's not like you need it but GL!

greymval says:

Wha..huh..wha ? How d'you do that?

kyricom says:

Great shot (again)! This one really works well. Josh (et al)... I'm guessing the author put a nice, clean pane of glass in front of (over) the object (a soccer ball this time), and then put single drops on the glass. Focus on the drops and not the object, and "PRESTO" - you have a cool shot like this. I really like this one.

creativefreedom says:

LOVE IT!!!! I KNEW IT WAS YOURS!!!

author says:

Right Kyricom, your explanation is nearly perfect
As I'm not very good with English to describe the technique, I took a shoot of the set and put it in SBS. I hope it's clear enough

Thanks all for nice comments and favs

friiskiwi says:
