Over the christmas period i had been playing around with some water drop shots but with Milk. to me i did not get them to work well for a single image.

so i started manipulating some of them into some of them in to this image, shot around 12 months ago but again not really done anything with it.

im not sure that it has worked as i wanted it to , so what do you think has it worked or should i scrap the idea altoghter and take it down may be i will anyway?

Thanks for the comment on yesterdays image etc.

Very eye-catching
Helen

Certainly different and I think it works. Clever use of the manipulation, something that would be hard to do for "real"....interesting idea and for me I like....

Hi Johnny

thanks for the constructive, you have given me a thought that i could do it for real with a flase floor and a bowl of milk drop the foot in it and it may work?

If nothing else the cat can have it afterwards (poor thing)
thanks
Tony

lol! Well, I have to keep giving these ideas away! lol! LaMiaVita used one of my ideas for his last set too, so makes me laugh that I am not shooting this stuff myself. I guess I am getting inspiration from yourself, so I can't take credit for it Wink Will be interesting to see the images you come up with...I am pretty sure it will be spectacular as usual Smile

Like the idea and good blending with this Tony.
For me when you go large the milk splash does not quite match the rest of the white tones and prehaps needs to be darkened slightly to blend better.
Good work.
Regards Richard

I see where you are coming from Rich but if i go darker then the tones in the "front" of the foot will be lost in the background so it needs to be lighter to stand out IMHO?

Like the idea Tony, wonder if it would work more letterbox, less legs may be, bringing the milk more into the shot. I'm off now just get my coat.

A tough one Tony. I like it and think it is very imaginative, creative and daring, but always the chance of the lead baloon syndrome!!!!!
I would say keep going with it.

Few pointers have already been said, scale of splash to foot and tones. But I don't think the heel needs to be seen, milk is not that opaque.
A great thought just jumped into my head for you. Just a close up of one of those stillettoes at that angle with the splash coming from the point of the heel. Still using your great idea but scaling the splash down, increase the intensity of those shoes, a perfect match?

Regards

Stewart

Original idea and pretty damned good execution too. Rich has apoint about the gradation (or lack of it) from the greyness of the floor to the sudden whiteness of the milk. Maybe run a subtle grad up to "spread" a little of the floor tone up into the body of the splash. It would need to be subtle though.

Minor niggles apart I do so like this. It's simple, it's clever and it works on so many different levels .... composition, colour contrasts, manipulation etc.

Original thinkin Tony.

Im looking for the "why" element , like maybe bend her right leg to give the impression of slip , rather than stick.

Milk drops and boots have a known sense of scale , so good luck juxting those !

When my oldest was young she used to stamp her feet in Inpatients and tantrams this pose just reminded me so much of here hence the stubern right leg and the stamping of the foot.
