Nice job. I like how she looks like a pice of art in front of the wall art. Lighting and pose are good as well. Beautiful model.

If I did this right, there should be two out-takes from the project. One is the original sized image and one is a high close up.
As one can see the original "macro" 24-105 Canon L is lens shoot is still very big, and has little detail even in the marco range.
The very close up dose not reveal a much better image in the water droplets, but you lose the out of focus image of the full woody. That is why I went with the in between size.
To go back to previous comments. To get this better, I probably have to use a larger grid or play with more positing of the woody, event though I do not believe that it would fully solve my problem. A true macro lens with a fully stable grid may help the sharpness, resolution and focus.
Thank you again for all of your input.

I appreciate all kinds of comments, positive as well as critics. I'd rater have somebody give a low score and tell me why, then just a low hit.
"k10DGuy" thank you for your first comment and more importantly your second "follow-up".
I believe you are correct as is "ambaker" and others in the advise about a more clear or larger picture in the droplets of the object behind the screen. I'm not sure what it would take to accomplish this, a different placement or a different screen? I played with several placements of the woody and I found this to be the most pleasant one. I also had a sample with a closer crop, but did not find it to add the value of the message that I was trying to portray, of one woody begin many (especially on DPC).
I may have also run into technical limitations, since I do not have a true macro lens and I had to drastically pull in the image from the shoot taken. This was taken outside and there was wind blowing, moving the screen constantly, also affecting the exact focus point. And a last, I have been know to mess up good shoots in my editing...
One thing that I do like about the image, even with all of it's faults, is the face that the image of the woddy in the droplets changes as you move around the grid do to, I guess, a changing angle.
Thank you again, for all comments, I enjoyed taking this shoot and have learn allot. Yes I had hoped for a better score, but I do that with all my entries, who aims for the average?

ROTFL - very humorous interpretation of our current culture. All that is missing is Joe Francis arrest by the police...
May have scored higher if you would have used "thongs" ;) -Just kidding.

Very funny. LOL "no baby's where hurt in the making of this pictures" is missing form the title. I wish the baby would be just a little bit more centered for this challenge IMHO. -7-

Wow,super dramatic. Nice BW. Not sure if a full body shoot is going to to well in "body parts" challenge? Technically very well done. -7-

You did a good job in making the eyes pop from the rest of the image. Are the reflections a car? -7-
