Panasonic DMC-GX7       3rd place, 122 points
1/250s, ?, ISO 125, ?, Manual, Pattern, flash
 
Post-Processing: levels; decreased shadows, decreased highlights, increased contrast; curves; crop; filter - unsharp mask; cloned out dust spots       Extra Info: Water drop image was captured by external flash directed at a white background directly behind a black plastic tray filled with water. External flash was triggered by the GX-7's shutter, set to 1/250sec. Wireless remote was used to trigger the camera. The rest was left to chance and infinite patience.

Jul 24, 2017		     I would like this better but for the buff coloured areas that look like debris in the water. The one to the right of the drop looks like a cup cake wrapper. Also in front of the drop, there is a reflection that looks like a piece of plastic in the water. Beautiful capture of the actual drop and the column of water, lots of great detail.

Jul 24, 2017		     I expect there were many takes. It is well captured although cliched. There are two rather strange light areas with very sharp edges in the water that are so different in appearance from the rest of the water's surface as to detract from the image. Perhaps a reflection from the flash?

Jul 24, 2017		     Definitely an accomplishment to catch a water drop. I would suggest cloning out or softening the hard edged bit to the right of the drop as it draws the eye away.

Jul 23, 2017		     Well done Robert! (I think). Perfect for the challenge and well taken.

Jul 22, 2017		     A water drop is indeed a simple subject, but the stop-action - plus the technique involved - makes it seem complicated. Well-executed, nonetheless.

Jul 22, 2017		     Beautifully taken classic subject. Fits the theme.

Jul 22, 2017		     Nicely done! A good image for simplicity (I bet it's not so simple to achieve!) In my faves.

Jul 21, 2017		     I know about the infinite patience required for these, because I've done this!! This is nicely done, I like the simple colors and very well focused. In my TT

Please share in the outtakes how you set up the dropping water.
