Have you tried other things like sand hitting glass, water from a water gun, or anything else>? You have a great talent for these macro stop motions I personally would like to see some diffrent things. Don't get trapped doing the same thing over and over because its a automatic good score...Just some thoughts......congrats on the ribbon

From your point of view you are, no doubt, right.
From my point of view it’s a different ball-game. This type of high speed photography has become a passion to me. It’s an extremely difficult type of image to get which probably accounts for some of the huge interest, especially with people who have tried this sort of thing. No two images are the same – they may look similar – but they’re not the same. For me, this is another fascinating aspect of the work I put into it. And I’m still learning. When I look at the first splash shots I did two years ago I find that I’m now getting better results. Definitely better focus, better DOF. I’m improving. This is also one of the reasons I show them here, any criticism, any comments are always a help.
One thing I’ve learned here is that no image is a surefire thing. No image automatically gets a good score. This is fine with me – I take what I get and learn from it.

Thanks for your thoughts Robert, I appreciate it.

Thanks, Nick!
And thanks to everyone for the great post challenge comments. You've made my day.

This is lovely, very fragile looking - the pink gives it a very serene look, almost transcendental.

It'll probably all fall apart as soon as the DPL starts up again ;-)
