 Yeah, well, it'll get slated because you'll probably all realise its a setup studio shot, the light is wrong for outside and the "rain" drops are too big.

I had so much fun doing it though I couldn't resist entering just to see.....


Anyway, bathroom sink covered with black bin liner and filled with water.

The water was scientifically coloured using a mixture of green food colouring and coffee granules with a scattering of mud from the garden for luck.

The vegetation is in fact cress from my fridge!

Shot with camera on tripod with attached flash, second flash to the side

Cropped and resized.
Saturation boosted
Greens saturation increased, red reduced
USM

Im not even sure what this is. The flash has been overexposed in the water. I think the photo itself is very busy and detracts from the entire feel of it.

Neat shot, although I think it would be even better if the crop was pulled back a bit. Good focus and color.

the compostition is not very appealing IMO and the flash reflecting off of the water is very distracting

confusing for me...but it doesn't take much to confuse me.

Seems too set up to me with the blown reflections in the water. I do like the feeling of tension given by the taught fishing line and angle of the bobber.
