Splash !!!

Decided to try something completley different as my Yin has Yanged & my Yan has so done a runner

So here ya go,my first real attempt at water splashes,not the best/sharpest I have ever seen so I made it a bit different.
Everything you see on the screen actually making the image was there at the time of shooting,I have only added a couple of textures.The 'bowler hat at the bottom,well,an added bonus when I looked at the images on the computer.
Lit with off camera flash pointing at a sheet of dark pink paper stuck to my kitchen wall with a lump of blu-tac.The water was quite shallow,just covering the very bottom of a glass oven dish.I hung a small plastic bag full of water on one of my wall cupboard handles & popped it with a pin..voila !!..drips !
The trick was the focus bit,took me ages to get anywhere near.
No posh remote triggers just me,watching the drips & triggering the shutter with my remote release

I love the reflections & the shape of the splash.

Thanks for getting this far....this one is a re-load,you were right Ade...too dark even by my standards
