Collision

This is first relatively satisfying water macro shot with my new

external flash (built-in flash caused ugly reflections). Any comments

and suggestions are welcome.

a goot shot indeed! looks like you've yourself a new toy, hope to see more of your underwater macro shot...

Excellent idea! I think the photo could use further cropping to eliminate the gray zone on the right, and possibly even some of the left border, emphasizing your droplet of water even more. And I wouldn't mind a color version of it either, if available. But this is a fantastic idea, and you've captured the water very well!

good sharp photo... except I wonder what that bowl thing is in the left front foreground....?

First, thanks for all comments so far.

 

About the color version; this actually is the color version. There was just nothing colorful enough to be reflected by the water; the glass was on metallic a washbasin. (a few areas with very slight non-gray tints can be noticed when you know where to look)

 

The "bowl" is a small drink glass. A more vertical version might indeed fit this setup.
