I have attempted this shot as well. It is not easy to make it look interesting. Lighting is difficult.

I tried a shot similar to this once and couldn't even get this much of a shower affect. I believe that you need enormous amounts of light to make this work. Did you use a flash or an outside litesource or both? Nice try. If you get one to come out real good I wanna see it!

Flash has killed definition in the water and the subject has all but dissappeared. Focus is quite soft too, so manual would be the way to go if you have the feature. Strong light would be another requirement in order to 'freeze' the water successfully.

Harsh light source and harsh shadows.

Because of your lighting, the water is being washed out and is hard to see. The spot glare from your flash is a bit distracting.

I like the idea, but the final photo doesn't quite grab me. Possibly cropping in tighter on the shower head and turning the water up a bit stronger????

Vertical composition helps to give interest to the shot. It would be nice to have the shower head a bit sharper.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This horse is beautiful and well-groomed, and its interest in the photographer is captured in this portrait. The dramatic sky with the silhouetted woods is a great background. The composition works; the subject's eye is the center of interest, which seems to be the intent.

I imagine this was a difficult photograph to make with so much contrast in the background. Using a flash prevented the horse from being little more than a silhouette. Yet there seems to be a lack of contrast in the horse itself, especially around the muzzle; I can't tell whether this is due to the lighting, post-processing, or low compression quality. There also seems to be a slight yellowish color cast and the photo is tilted a bit.

Another excellent shot. I really like your choice of b/w here. The little boy on the left really stands out.
