 Needless to say Im a new member and just learned what dnmc imho means :p All in all im pretty happy with my score since this is kind of a trial run for me. Thankyou everyone. Appreciate the input and critique.

Wrote the info below thinking it could be read during evaluation...


If there is enough water in the world there is still hope to preserve human life. If there is water anywhere else in the universe we might not be alone, for better or for worse.

The colours in the picture come from a package of spaghetti sause I push down into a bowl. I Let the sink do the rest of the work. My lightsource was a flash directed at the ceiling. The colours mix nicely, hope others like it too.

Jon, welcome to DPC. I think the colors in this entry are beautiful. The fact they come from spaghetti sauce packaging makes me happy. Your image might have scored higher except people are very tired of water drop photos. There are other subjects that get photographed more often, but for some reason people really hate the splash shots!

I look forward to seeing your future entries. And yes, those black dots along the bottom do mar the photo a bit. As Ja-9 suggested, check for sensor dust.


Thank you :) Im kind of tired of water drop photos myself so I think I`ll move on to more rewarding subjects... I`ll run a sensor cleaning ;) (Wish I had one of those fancy automatic cleaning cameras)..

I hope I can take a decent water droplet shot someday. But other than that, I'm not sure how this fits the challenge?

Nice photo, but I don't know how this relates to the challenge of 'hope'?

Not a bad water drop, but certainly not among the best either. It would be better if more of the crown was in focus. 5

does your sensor have dirt on it lower right corner, just a touch grainy...but a pretty drop at that

well captured, but how does this say "hope"? Hoping for a ribbon?
