Bought a baby doll, my wife acted as focus model and thrower. She threw the baby and water out, while I tried to "capture" the moment. This was the best. Sorry, we have no children, so the doll was the best we could do.

Really cool shot. Nice effects, and definately original. lol. The angle and framing/cropping turned out very nicely. I like the flying droplets of water too. Focus is wonderful. I love how the hair is just flying in the wind. Nice shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~hbunch7187~

Did you try cropping the picture so that the baby was centered on one of the 'rule of thirds' hotspots? Right now it's not really centered, not really off-center, giving it an awkward feel. It's really funny, nonetheless! :)

Could be cool. The background confuses the really very nice stop-motion water.

This is a good concept and a good picture. Should be in the first places.

Different. You captured the water nicely.

Great idea. I would like to see the flying water more in focus or in contrast with the background. Too me, the water looks like the sky that you would see between the branches.

Interesting idea. Now if you could have seen the doll's face I think it would have been even better.

It took me a while to figure this one out... I thought she was adrift in some emerald river... I like this alot. I wish something could have been done about the flourescent wristbands. Try this picture with an ISO of less than 400 - see what happens. Not sure if it would improve it - just explore! (7) MarkRob

That's not a REAL baby, would've marked you higher if it would've been a real baby. Just Kidding!

Nice idea, well executed. It must have taken quite a few shots to get this one done. Might have been a little better if more centered, but that's only minor.
