 I got the idea for this while doing the painting with light submission. The trick to the water is several strands of tinsle being pulled out slowly while I shine a flashlight on them. The rest of the subject was then "painted" with the flashlight. I actually used a blue filter over the flashlight, but decided it was too blue. When I processed the photo I took the color out, then added some subtle blue tone with color variations. Played a bit with levels, contrast, shapenned.

For some reason that water doesn't look like water. Il ike the nice blue lighting, and how it fades into black as it gets closer to the edges.

I feel like a tad more light would have done great here! Good picture though.

I like the idea....I like the composition....I like the water movement....I just wish it had a little more contrast and perhaps more light....just my opinion!

Excellent picture, the flowing of the water (being pourin into the cannister?) sold it to me.

I love the colouring on this one. Would have been cooler with real water. This looks a little like plastic wrap. But still, it's *almost* a very convincing effect. :) 6.

is that cellophane? hehehe... he's the water bearer but not the water pourer.... Aquarias is an air sign. Interesting photo though...

Ooh.... I like this! Is that cellophane for water? I tried to do a shot like this, but the water wouldn't work with me very well! Great job!
