Awesome job here. You lit this perfectly and your timing was spot on! I am impressed.

Thank you I still have some sharpening to do that I missed. After a few drinks and editing my eyes get kinda crossed. lol

What do you plan on sharpening?

I want to lower the sharpness on the right duck and raise it on the left

LMAO did you really just tell a mod that you plan on selectively editing your photo?

The funny thing is after i did that i realized this one has to stay. Lol. I did laugh out loud at that one. Hehehe. . I will be good.

lol jfish be careful in asking how this Author may have pulled this shot off.
nice capture btw

lol @ cabldawg71!
ok for my setup I had a white backdrop and two strobes facing it on either side at an angle from the left and right. I had one light I was bouncing off the ceiling or it was at the tank somewhat... can't remember this shoot exactly but anyway I filled the tank up about a half way or a little less and held the duckie under water and focused and then used my wireless remote to snap the shot. After I focused on the ducks I let go really fast of the duckie on the right and hoped for the best. It took a few shots but this one turned out so cute I thought. It also took longer to take shots because I would wipe down the glass each take so there wasn't any unwanted drops in the shot. There was a place I thought was a drop out of place but it turned out that it was dried up on my lens cause I had some pretty wild splashs from earlier and didn't notice it (which I'm known for not noticing stuff right away) but anyway I took that one out cause it was part of the rules like dust on the lens kinda stuff. The only corrections I made were cropping, rotating and contrast, and some levels. That's it. Promise ya'll
So now with that said... I will be taking donations for my hard work. Benjamins only please...lol

oh and make sure your table with the tank is at a pretty good distance from the white background. I find it works best that way. Not sure why cause I'm no techy when it comes to this stuff but I know what I did and what I like.

I figured ya just climbed in the tub with em you deserve Ben for that explanation
This is a dandy shot

Ben? And i took all my duckies in the tub with me later that night.

Hey locks. It let me give you 5 more rep points. You owe me for that mr! Lol

Ben franklin dear Cnote $100

Lmao! I am a dork!

I dont do sbs's cause they are not requieed for photos but i did explain it above. If i do a shoot lije this again i will try to remember to take shots of the setup for you.

great shot

Almost worth putting a clear coat or 2 on it, For a prop.

I really laughed out loud!
Thanks for the description as to how you shot it. I like that effect.

One can create a great composition with simple objects,well done !

Thanks for the comments, it took several test shots to get it right, but it is one of my favourite still life shots.

Love the title lol

I like this very much. The reflection helps a lot

The reflection is key to this shot I think...... its amazing how easy it is to get a bit of glass dirty, and so simple to get it in a shot.

Great idea!

yes very pretty

Actually i used tonic water. We are a bunch of alchys so i had plenty of that. Lol

I like it

I love this effect especially that there's a bubble on each tip. I've got to try this someday.

chose pretty subjet for the contest and they look like... wow !

I LOVE CRAYONS.. in tonic water.. with lots and lots of VODKA... giggle snort

This is in Lake Louise, Alberta Canada.

Yes this is a panorama... I can't remember the exact number of picture taken, but I think it was around 6-7. And thanks for your comment jfish

nice. looks like the sky is at war with it's self.
