Too bad you don't get extra points for difficulty factor. Impressive.

Nathan, you did a GREAT job on this. The creaminess of the splash and the colour of the coffee are perfect. I love it and thanks for the Deja Vu.

Oh so close, and on a difficult shot, by itself a 10 but in comparison to the original, my vote a 8.

While the splash is not a clean vertical mushroom shape like it is in IreneM original it is still a spectacular capture. Love the soft colors of the milk as it blends into with the coffee in 'hatlike' splash shape. The way the colors blend and fold in that hatlike portion projects two more senses: that of touch with those soft tones and the smooth caramel texture seen & that of taste for the creamy mix of color looks so smooth we can almost taste it. My only critiques is that I wish that it had the same sharp detail on those small droplets fanning out from the main splash & that the color of the coffee was a richer brown. The richer brown tone can easily be achieved with either adjusting the Brightness/Contrast or adjusting the color balance. The sharpness on those smaller drops - well that is just sheer luck and a ton of patience. Easier said than done for in a recent thread IreneM said she easily went through 4,000 photos in a weekend and ditched them all for they weren't good. So kudos to you for having the time and patience to capture just this one.

She is the master. Pretty good attempt. I figure this took you over 200 shots, 3 + hours, + a messy kitchen and an upset wife! ;) 8

A very good attempt at Irene's specialty. It's really close like hers. It's really sharp like hers. It's really well lit like hers. It just doesn't have the height like hers. Keep trying. You'll get it one day. Me? I wouldn't even know how to begin to try.
