Stone dropped in a glass
Quote:It's good to challenge yourself and try something new, Liam, and I admire you for that. I know this is a difficult area of photography, but I have seen some amazing successful shots on this site. I agree with Rachael about the strong highlights, and you do admit to possibly having got this wrong. I think the sparkles in the water are acceptable, but not the reflections of your light source. There is very little colour in the shot, and you might like to consider coloured water and/or some coloured card for the background. My major niggle is that I couldn't immediately recognise what this was, so I think it's important for you to look at the image objectively and if it isn't discernible as being a stone dropped into water, try again. The splashes at the top are an important part of the composition in this respect, but yours are not well enough defined and you haven't given them enough space in the frame. I think you need to move back a bit and have some space around your subject. The waterline is not level, and I think it's important for that to look straight. Might I also suggest using something other than a stone, simply because it isn't eye-catching or colourful, and doesn't have a great shape. It blends in too well with the water and water movement, and that's partly why I found it hard to know what was happening in the image at first glance. A good attempt.
Pamela.
