| This is one of the cooler splashes I've seen. I particularly like the BG and its dimpling. Congrats on your blue! |

| A very worthy Blue ribbon winner and a fine addition to your collection of wonderful images. It is a real thrill to watch the artistic progression of someone so talented. You make me want to do better. As a side note... I believe you met the challenge just fine. You possess a great deal of class... far more than some... and I know that you realize that for as many slingers of mud there are, the amount of admirers is tenfold. All the best. |

| Great shot Irene. Its funny but with all the water shots you do, you still find interesting and unique approaches to shooting them. In this shot, I like how the bottle has an almost metallic appearance while still retaining its transparency. |

What do you plan to do Irene - Build a house of 'Blues'?!
:-), Congratulations on a shot that is fabulously done!

P.S. As I have mentioned earlier: Your approach to photography is inspiring for me. :-).

I love your shot Irene and I personally think it does meet the challenge. My take is the subject is the liquid and the description didn't say the entire shot needed to be seen through something transparent and obviously a portion of the liquid is seen through the transparent bottle. So I think you met the challenge perfectly for me not to mention its an amazing image not only beautiful but well executed. I am glad there is a vote and the majority of voters loved it. Maybe if the descripition said the transparent object needed to fill more than say 80% of your image I would agree that it didn't meet the challenge but that isn't what it said. Regardless I think you deserved your blue and congratulations. Keep shooting what you enjoy and let the rest of us have the pleasure of viewing the shots you do so well.
Sorry for rambling on, everyone is entitled to there opinion and thats mine and I think the blue speaks for itself. |

This is a typical "IreneM" watershot
It seems the splash didn't come from the bottle, is that correct?
Please give some setup details.
From May-Dec 2006 you got no ribbons, but in 2008 you hit the jackpot.
So I guess persistence pays off.
Great record, 16-1st + 11-2nd + 11-3rd = 38, (19-HMs)
Scalvert's record: 15-1st + 19-2nd + 12-3rd, = 46, (7-HMs)
IF you count HMs, you beat Scalvert, 57 to 53.
I'd say you Animate the Inanimate.

Jealousy? Actually if you read the challenge description, this does not meet the challenge:
Create a photo in which a transparent or semi-transparent object is between you and your subject.
So while I do think this is a beautiful photo, those low scores are justified and have nothing to do with jealousy.
Sorry, Irene, for ranting on your photo. Congrats on the blue, it's a wonderful photo. |
Agree with you 100% Karen. Great photo! But DNMC clearly as the "subject" to anyone objectives is the water splash and the bottle is not between the viewer and the subject.
But again, great photo and has been proven here time and again, meeting the challenge is not a requirement with most voters. Sad but true.
Irene, I always love your work! |

The transparent object between your image and your camera is not transparent. It must be invisible. Good picture for another challenge, anyway.
Create a photo in which a transparent or semi-transparent object is between you and your subject.

Can't go wrong with droplets and splashes. The style of lighting and overall tone suggests this could be an  Irenem entry. |

| Marvelous crispness, colors, composition. The splash and "castoffs" are terrific, the bottle mouth stellar. However... I'm not totally convinced it meets the challenge. Had we viewed the splash THROUGH the bottle.... |

Beautifully composed, although the perspective was not good enough to have viewer believe that the droplet that hit the water surface was from the bottle. It looks like the droplet was from a position further rear than the bottle mouth.
I like the tone you selected in this B&W. |
