Nice shot, lovely tones. 6

One note - be careful using a progressive JPEG - it loads in first choppy, then later refines. Wouldn't want a punchy voter thinking the choppy version was it.

Depth of field seems a little too shallow - the flower has parts in and out of focus, which is a bit distracting.

Hey, thanks for the comments, folks - just noticed them.

Yes, these are water balloons dropped onto a tile floor using flashes to freeze the motion. They're really pretty tough if you don't overfill them - I only had one break on accident. The "vomiting pacman" was on purpose - if you look closely you can see the pin on the floor. The only thing I varied over the other shots was exactly when the flash trigger went off during the impact.

Thanks for the suggestions, Joe. =)

The subject looks very blurry, otherwise the bkg is very nice.

Cool "fading away" effect.

Hmm, a stretch, I think. It feels like the subject is more blurred because of the water movement than because of distance from the focal plane.

With very little definition in the bkg, you can't see much bokeh effect. Also, dog isn't terribly sharp. Better luck next time!
