 This was a very fun shot. I set up a sheet of glass on top of some books, then made some water drops on the glass and put colored pencils diagonally underneath the glass and started shooting.

Wow, is all I have to say about your whole port, for being only 16 you are outstanding. Can I have your autograph as I really think you are going to be big in this industry!!!! (Then I can sell it for a million bucks hahah)

Truly amazing work, I am stunned.

very well done. Vivid colors and technically sound. I suppose just a couple more pencils on each side would have kept the carpet/tabletop??? from showing on the side of each drop. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful capturing of many pencils(?) in individual drops apparently sitting on a piece of glass.

Wonderful variation on a well-tested theme. Your depth is perfect for the shot. There's that magical feeling of spheres floating in space. Well done!

Very cool image. Are those water droplets on a sheet of glass over a string of cables or something else? Either way, nice setup and execution.
