I had one chance to get this shot so I hope you like it, I say one chance because the ice started to melt instantly and had melted by the time I had taken the second shot, due to the water being at about room temperature :o)
1/2000 sec
F/7.7
ISO 50
Thanks very much indeed for looking,
Rob.

Superb shot! Excellent detail, sharpness and colours. Very professional! 
Thankyou all very much for your comments :o)
Ian, who or what is Gordons please?
For Rob or anyone else who is interested, this was set-up in a 16 x 8 inch glass tank, I used clear classes to hold the piece of orange in place, the same for the ice, and below that was an airline attached to a pump for the bubbles.
The lighting was a large softbox behind the tank, I did have a slave flash below the tank but ended up turning it off as it didn't really improve it.

Stunning shot there, I absolutely knew it'd be one of yours! I'd be quite interested in giving something like this a try myself this weekend. I have flat sided glass vase and an aerator that I could use but don't have studio lights or soft boxes. Do you think it's possible to get similar shots using just desk lamps? I'm telling myself that I'm going for the "ghetto studio" style. LOL!
Thanks Vesen, P Monk, Barbara and Lauren :o)
Lauren, I think you might be stuggling with standard desk lamps, but if they are bright enough and you can get the shutter speed up then anything is possible, your probably better of doing it in bright sunlight, if the weather picks up a bit :o)
HTH
Thanks for that, I'll see how it turns out. I think I need to get myself a lightbox but recently I saw how expensive they can be!
Just love this, great impact shot. Fantastic comp and detail.
Am I allowed to say "COOL"!
Tracy
Very prefessional looking photo. And yes, this would be great for a soft drink ad!
Patrick
Your shots are amazing, you must 'get into advertising' you would make a fortune! jane
Congrats on POTW I'd hoped this would get an EC at least but glad it swept the board. K.
Super shot, well deserved POTW. Nice to see something different winning the award.

not going to attempt to comment on all your pictures, you really have an excllent portfolio..........have enjoyed them all
I saw this a few times on the front but didn't twig it was yours Rob - I can usually spot them a mile off LOL - well done and congrats
I was just trying to look through the forum, sure someone asked about it a while back but I can't find it ...hope I'm right
I've rembered, it was Gav, he won potw with his Lemur pic and had a canvas done of his little boy here
...but this is so good, would make a great print
OMG, Like....127 Clicks was not enough, 'eh???!!! LOL!!!
I'm not even going to tell you HOW long it took me to figure out what POTW even meant??!! Damn, I'm still laughing.....I first thought:
Problem of the Week, Poem of the Week, Prisoner of which War?
This is how out of the Loop I am!!! LOL!!!
OK OK, Nice #128th Clicked shot of the Week!
