Which challenge? Fractals?
It's a good image, but I would have killed it in that challenge.

I was really trying to figure out what his was without reading your description. Once you know what you're looking at it seems so obvious.

Your patience paid off before it's definitely a unique photo.

So simple, but effective.
That one column breaks up the monotonicity of the image making for a good capture.

Lensbaby or post?
Either way it's a really cool photo. Love the selective focus on the action and the water drops and really sharp adding to the effect.

Cool photo.
This rinky-dink version doesn't do it justice.

Time to pick up an old filter myself. I was thinking of doing that after the soft focus challenge, but never got around to it. It's a really cool effect that can't be recreated in post.

Do you apply the vaseline so it's evenly distributed? How?

And that would be the right move. The colours would create a really cool image depending on the blur. This is your forte, so I'm sure you could pull it off.

Good composition. I love how the purple works with both the yellow and green. It's a pleasing image.

The lighting seems off.
It doesn't accentuate his physique at all, and like Karen pointed out, looks a little forced.

I did this, but it took 30 attempts to get the lighting semi-correct.


The inspiration for my take came from this photo by nsjabs.


You could always throw a fill light in the front and I think it would look really good. I can tell that you have lights on both sides of the subject and because of the amount of light, no definition comes through.

I guess I'll steal his comment as I was thinking the same thing.
