Pierre...This is a lovely flower and photo. I am not criticizing but going to show you a technique my photography teacher/mentor has taught me to do with flowers MANY times and especially water lilies. I removed a lot of the greenery in the background replacing it with black. The green was very busy to me and distracted from the gorgeous flower. I also cropped it top and bottom and sides. I think the white flower really stands out now. Such a beautiful shot. Let me know what you think. |

Murphy...this is a lovely picture of Wood Ducks. Not sure we have those in Texas but they are very colorful. Their perch with a green muted background and old wood adds to the detail and color of the birds. It all looks to be very much in focus and has a catch light in the eye. Great job!! |

An interesting concept how to use reflection and light. Adding the original pictures how it all came about is helpful and helps to see the whole picture. Definitely has a 3D effect which makes for an interesting picture. I like how you positioned the basket and added the SmallRig lighting to it. I have that same macro light and will have to give the colors a try. Very creative and so I give you a thumbs up!! |

Alane...Anything that is Waterford is gorgeous as is this piece. I love cut glass and have a collection myself but not as expensive as Waterford. I like all the colors in the photo but may I make a suggestion of cropping down a more particular area and cropping out the top that is dark. I have attached my rendition of the picture making it a rule of thirds and the different geometric designs within this cropped area. |

Norman...This is a very unique image. It's a very busy image and lacks a focal point for a close-up. I do like the old paint technique used but perhaps if you had cropped a front portion of the skull and added something in to the picture, that would qualify more as a close-up. The lighting is very nice for the entire image. |

Thanks Pierre! Water droplet photography has always been intriguing for me. You just never know what you are going to get and that makes it fun. A flash was NOT used but the instructor of the workshop may have had a source of light but I don't recall those details. I have plans to attend another water droplet workshop in February. |

Thank you Norman and welcome! I have always been intrigued with water droplet photography and have taken several workshops. I have another one coming up in February too. You never know what you are going to get with water droplet photography. As for the equipment, the instructor, a professional photographer, had an overhead device where he could control the speed of the drops and you shoot to see what you get! It's a lot of fun. You need to try it. |

Thanks Murphy! This workshop took place indoors with a professional photographer, Kevin Gourley, so I think the "grass" you are referring to is a light reflection. He had food dyes we could choose from to make our water droplet picture and perhaps he had placed a softbox close by. I don't remember. |

The water droplet was done at a workshop and the instructor, Kevin Gourley, may have used a softbox. I don't really remember. In checking the data on the picture, it said no flash used. I have another water droplet workshop in February with someone different so I will look forward to that. As for the color, he had food dye colors we could choose from. |
