I like this border, though I wish is was smaller. I don't like the fact that it's the first thing I noticed. I also moight have gone for a tiny bit faster shutter speed to really catch those drops sharply. Nice composition and interesting colors.
ok, i like the colors, the impact, the composition, and the basic execution. but, there's just something that's not clicking for me. i hate to criticize, especially knowing how hard it is to catch a shot like this, but something just seems off. maybe it's the pattern of the splash and the lighting on it? oh well, don't mind me. good luck!
(ps: i'm not going to hold it against you that you didn't completely wipe up the surface between takes...)
Wow, what an imaginative shot! The hard to identify liquid and background, the splash *not* being contained in the frame, the bizarre border, yet it all comes together in an image that somehow just works! - 9
Seen plenty of these shots, however not very many from this angle. Not sure if I like it. The border definately takes away from this image. I also think I would have preferred the lighting more above the glass (having it capture the ice cube). Good Luck.
