I'm missing the transition. I suppose after 9/11, the whole world has transitioned to a more secure place?

From the title I think you can guess that I knew that everyone else was going to do water pics too, as this was my backup photo. I didn't get time to replace with the better one since I was away over the weekend, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

From your (mostly very useful) comments, it looks like I'll have to work on my lighting in future, along with preparing the background. Thanks!

good job capturing water in motion, but the composition isn't very strong.

I think I would have left out the glass. It takes away from what you are trying to snap the photo of.

Shutter speed needed to be a few stops faster ... the bottom of the glass is washed out.
