Greetings from the Critique Club
Let me begin by saying wow. This image is a wonderful work of art. I absolutely love the way that it reads, the lighting is perfect, the contrast is wonderful, I agree that the bubble should be removed but other than that I would not change a thing. You have a real talent, and I am glad to be priveledged enough to get the inside scoop on how you created this image. (end brownnosing here)

Gary, you make me feel like I don't know what I'm doing! (Which is ok, though, cause I know I don't.)
Seriously, great shot here. Congrats again, and if you should ever make it to the US, Arkansas to be precise, the first round is on me :) |

Wonderful indeed. I had no doubts about this one. I wonder why I didn't guessed it was you. But I don't dare to write to much. I am taking your precious time. You are not taking pictures but writting history.
With you on this site I don't even dare to write on forums anymore. I am afraid I will write stupid things and you might read them. Isn't somehow unfair to the world to be so talented and to have such a brilliant mind in the same time?

Hey Gary .....
Any chance at all of seeing the before version of this pic, sort of post crop but pre PS work. I don't understand a lot of what you've said there and would love to try and work through it.
I've often had the same general problem, but have never been able to solve it.

| Clever approach to the title, technically excellent shot too. I like this because it relies on the reflection of light, rather than the refraction that so many stopped motion water shots do. There's still somethnig not quite gripping about it for me - it may only be that I've played with such effects so much myself :-) |

Wonderful freeze of motion. The position of the water surface and the iceblock itself makes this a nice composition, the edges of the drop airhole in the water work well as leading lines. I can hear myself think "Plop" when I look at this.
B&W conversion works well here. |
