The splash of an apple

I see from, what you wrote, that you do many water shot's and that you are particulary interested in this theme. That's ok with me but personally I rate creative shots, that surprise me, as the best. If I saw this image 2 years ago I would be amazed but now it's just another very beautifull well technically done water splash image. Can't say I am not surprised it won but neither can I say that I am glad. Congratulations for this nicely done image anyway.
Don't get me wrong, but I am infuriated, that people spray objects with water drops or use some water techniques, since it's seems to me so cheap.Well we know that there are loads of water shot's in here so I say we should try to do something invoative. For some time now I am discriminating all water shots. It's just that there were some really impresive ideas and they where executed in a very good way. Your shot is just not a ribbond winner. It's not a symbol of an 'ideal or the best' image to me.
It doesn't have virtues that I seek in a winner shot. A good technical look is far too little to me, especially in digital photography! If you had done it on a film than it would be a different story :) Digital photography seems to give tools available to a wider range of people, making certain photography themes way easier to achieve - I am not saying it's bad but as a result my "bar" - expectations are way higher.
Well I can't say I'm an adulator. I speak my mind and if I have offended you, then I am sorry, that wasn't my intention.
Propably lots of spelling mistakes - sorry for that.
