umbrella drop

My very first thought when I saw this shot.... this is NOT the first time he has photographed a water drop....

Well done here and in your entire portfolio. Your technical methods clearly work very well and your artistic presentations are wonderful.

I like this and am sure it takes a lot of skill and probably lots of trys to get this result. I have a few suggestions on how it might look better, to me anyway: The frames don't work for me. A constant width white frame would look better and I'd drop the black frame. It could use a little "head room" above the splash to have better composition. It could use a little sharpening. OK. I'm not the Photo God or anything, but for me those changes would be improvements. I'm attaching a version I incorporated those ideas into. It only has enought black frame to make it stand out against the Photo.net background. I hope you find this useful, or at least interesting.
