Here you go ;) Its good to be back. How are you? hope all is well? Its a nice photograph, but just lacking little contrast, other than that its nicely captured with good composition. All the best.

    OK I will play a little more with the contrast. Nice to have you back. How are you? I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

This is beautiful. I can hear the drop splash from the photo. It looks relaxed and yet cool. The black and white is awesome. Thank you.

Comment from Patti's Pics


Wow! something as simple as raindrops and you have created a very cool photo. Love the ripples, the various sizes and effects of the drops, and the conversion to black and white works! Great job

For me, this is very nice. Love your splashes. Nice affect of the water rings too. Yep, I'm beginning to appreciate black and white works.

    Thank you very much. I like both color and B&W at their times. Sometimes black and white brings the subject better out.

Comment from vipshehan-Nikon


I really like this and it is very much different to what we see every day. The reflection looks great. The black and white conversion has worked well in your favor.

Thanks for sharing.

You have created a wow effect here. I'm always impressed with people's water drop shots because I feel I could never do it myself. Great treatment in B/W It works!

    Thank your for your kind review. I'm sure you can do that shots. Nobody is born as a master photographer. Just keep trying and experimenting. You will be astounded what you can do.
Comment from James Collier


I really like the contrasts you have produced here, especially the two main splashes. For me, it would have been a better shot if you had used a faster shutterspeed to freeze the water, but as I was not there you may not have been able to or you were looking for a more fluid effect! Well done! :))

    Thank you! I was a bit in a hurry. Not time and chance to play much around with the settings having a plastic bag on top the camera. The camera, my dog and me got very wet anyway.
Comment from Raphael Photography


This image has a nice impact. I like these types of photographs and seeing the capture of water in different ways. Good center of interest and story telling ability.
