 Well, I know that technically this is kinda lame. Just hope I get that extra point or two for creativity or humor. Maybe? I just got tired of setting it up. Took me an hour with a change, a snap, a run to my computer to check it. I'd much rather spend an hour in a market or a park or downtown somewhere shooting people. They are much more interesting.

Good thing I had my homemade light box. I used that to set the glass on. I had no rain-ex, so I used finger nail polish remover to make the water bead a little better. If your water doesn't bead, you really have crap. I know from experience. The fish are on wrapping paper, the duck is a friend of mine. So I have an odd life...

Nice one Courtenay! Shows that the off the wall can really work in this place! Made me chuckle!

I really loved the whimsy of this. Figured a higher placement though.

Very crisp thinking here.

Are they individual waterdrops on a glass shelf over a bath or a pattern of fishes on something?

Who care, for it is a very nice way to show refraction through water, and the duck adds to the theme. I love the composition here too!

I suspect a touch more contrast would just bring the duck and the sparkles to even better life here.

Good luck with this challenge,

Ah, a ducky. That said, it's well exposed and the fishies are cute.

Great perspective and the fish - WOW - I need to learn how to do this. Very clever indeed.

This made me smile - and its a great image. Love the composition with Ducky in the corner. Perhaps the fish could be a tad clearer in the water drops, but the colour helps this not to be so much of a problem. One of my high scoring shots - hope it does well for you.
