A drop of water caught right after impact. I am trying out new lighting techniques. This drop is lit from two sides against a dark background.

Greetings from the Critique Club -

Very cool capture here. You easily met the challenge with the reflection. I just really wish the reflection was full so we could se ethe full reflection on the bottom.

I have never tried a shot like this but I am sure it is challenging. The focus is pretty sharp, the b&w conversion is well done. Its just an overal pleasing image. Theborder may be a bit heacy. A finer more delicate whote line may have been a better fit - but thats just my personal preference.

Looking through your portfolio you have a nice array of dark and moody images. Very interesting work indeed. Keep up the good work and I lok forward to seeing you rfuture entries.

Tim

Beautifully done and I love the white highlights on black look. This would have rocked if the tops of the water drops were not cut off in the reflection. Still a 7.

I am always impressed by shots like this. Just the patience you must have to redo it again and again until you catch it just perfect. I would have preferred if it had not been cropped so tight at the bottom. The reflection would have given an additional symmetric axis.

I'm very interested in knowing how you did this. Did you crop it a bit short or was there something that was messing up the lower half of the shot? 9 from me.

Great capture and timing. wish i could see more of the bottom to complete the whole image. The border is questionable and the lighting is very cool.

Wow! I'd love to know how you did this, but am sure I could never even come close to doing anything like it. Makes it even more enticing!
