Aftermath of a drop of water

This was shot with my camera on a tripod, pointing into a basin of water. I dripped water into the basin with one had, and triggered the shutter with the other.

 

The color of the image was modifified in The Gimp - the basin was dark green, and I thought blue looked more natural. The rest of the image, including the nice starburst are natural.

Does this work? Would there be a better way to compose it?

Overall I really like the picture. I especially like the starburst effect on the flying drop of water. Did you plan on that? The only thing I would like to see different would be more room at the top. Maybe move the column of water down and a little to the left. But it sure is a great effort!

Unfortunately I didn't plan the star burst - You don't have much control over timing in this kind of shot - I probably took 100 shots to get a few that actually worked out.

 

I cropped the image to get a roughly even space around the circular wave - I'll try recropping and seeing how it looks.

 

Way to catch the moment. Starburst is a nice touch.

a basin?..what a Cool shot. Seeing as your looking for any suggestions my next thought was wonder

what several droplets graduating would look like

in this i.e. longer stream to the final plunge is what I'm thinking I suppose. After checking out

more of your photos and having viewed 1000's out here at this point so goes this rare interest of my having more...I wanted to ask how long have you been paying attention to photography (yours specifically)? Do you have a favorite camera? lens? Do you have your own dark room? If mentioned already in the tech. section(s) out here sorry but I haven't taken note as yet. Again nice shot here.
