Nice angle!

Awesome catch. I like the way you have the splash in the winking cup. The cup has "attitude"!!!

Very nice and crisp. Good job!

Very nice!

Very well done!

There is a difference... but very slight. Very hard to see the "HDR" effect with exposures so tight together.

I agree Author.

Looks like the edge of an engine block for a motorcycle?

I've seen this fence before... hmmmm wonder who it is.

Having a style is one thing, but using a scene that was used before in a previous contest is another thing entirely.

Mee too!

What are you using to get these? Stacking shots?

@k5683..... thanks... i thought it was just my eyes LOL

This is a good site for info.

Good start.. keep it up.

Gee .... I wonder who this is???? Awwwwe it is so cute!

Author... I read the description of the contest:

"What happens if you drop milk into water? Or paint, dye, grease... Right, they form flows of 2 (or more) different colored liquids mixing up. This contest is about photographing these flows"

I think you actually did a great job here. By mistake or not you are showing (in focus) the "flows" of the pink and blue. Bravo! I would keep it and shoot some more with different colors.

Nice shot.. I see the streak now.. too bad... but not really that distracting. Looks like some glare at the top. That is a little distracting for me. Could crop that maybe? Also think about a polarizing filter next time. It takes some of the glare out.

I think the shutter speed it fine. It is actually the flash that should be catching the action. I would bump the f-stop up though to get more dof. If you do that you will need more light of course. I use two flashes set a 1/32 and reflect off of a light colored background. My f-stops are around 20. I am also using a 100mm L macro lens too.

Awesome idea and shot... it's too bad it is out of focus on the impact point. Drops are a favorite of mine and I know how hard it was to get even this. You got time... try again and resubmit. Colors are fantastic. What was your flash set at? 1/32?

@k5683....Just because I am a mod doesn't make me always correct. They are in fact different photos based on the clouds. HOWEVER, they were taken within seconds of each other and are very similar.

You need to decide which one you want to leave. It is the same pic, you just rotated and cropped. Not allowed to use the same shot.

Great shot!

Awwweee.. thats cute!

Looks great!!

Good shot... and good story/poem.

She hasn't..... One very close to it... but not this one.

Great game and great shot!!

Very nice!!

I doubt a "filter" was used. This is a classic example of HDR. There are many kinds of HDR. I like it. I think it fits the abandoned building.

is it me or is it..... just a little .... to the .... oh never mind !!!!!

Great shot.

This is very beautiful!

WOW!!!!!! Very nice!!!

Congrats for second place. Do I owe you $20 bucks?

LOL.... oh man..... you had to huh?


Nice shot!!

I agree.... I would try and reshoot with only the yellow helmet maybe on top of the extiguisher.... get a little close or have a really cool angle

Looks like a face..... love it!!!

Mashed potatoes?

Is that Waldo?

Cant argue with that description!!

Congrats on 3rd. Awesome shot.

Congrats on 2nd!!! Love this shot.

Very nice.

As a person who uses these every shift, I know the importance of the "drops" inside them to my patients. Great shot. I wish you well.

Sound trigger? Or lots of luck?

Nice shot and thanks for the info.... will help lots of people.

congrats, great shot

Looks like the plane mock up from the waterworld stunt show

I remember that key.... still a great shot!!

Very nice..... I love this!!

same here.
