Water drops are very cool subjects to photograph

[AirBrontosaurus]

Gorgeous Athena, simply gorgeous. Hey, didn't I see a picture that looked like those in the Macro Competition gallery...? ;)

These are stellar pictures!

Lovely shots Athena, usually water drop shots bore me, but these managed to capture my interest enough to post a reply!!!

I've seen this idea before, were they taken on a DVD or CD perhaps, Very sharp and definitely Abstract. Well done.:D :D :D

[dazzlebea]

Lol, the last one made me laugh :D Thanks!

I think I'm in a golden mood today, who knows about tomorrow...

[theflyingkiwi]

they are some nice shots and they would make great wallpaper.

I got many cd's at home so I might give it ago. I am also thinking of trying some oil.

[Athena]

Thanks for the kind comments. :)

Forgot to mention that it's 4 different shots, not PS work. ;)

Oil is also great in macro - and oil and water mixed too. Have fun with it and post us your results. :D

[JayKitty]

BOOM! love 'em.

Yep - its a CD. :) I know what you mean about the water -ew! It's NC tap water. Glad we don't drink that stuff!

Lovely compositions. Definitely worthy of your abstract macro comp ;)

[Athena]

It was a tough call for me not to enter these. ;) I wanted to share them here tho, so I entered something else instead.

PS: have you voted? come play! :D

#2 and #3 are my favorites the last one looks like three contact lenses, now who would be wearing three contact lenses ???

No I haven't voted yet... thanks for the reminder.

By the way, have you decided on an avatar yet? I've seen yours change about 5 times over the last week! lol

LOL - I might have to disqualify #1.

That last one is the water drops after they dried up. Gross, heh?

Very nice!!! I like #2 and 3 the best. Great color.

Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone. This little set is close to all that I got to do on holiday. Now that I am back home I'll be able to jump back into it. :D

[Beau Hudspeth]

Cool idea. I had a similar one when I took THIS ONE (http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/big.asp?photoID=516535&catID=&style=&rowNumber=21&memberID=80048).

See, AOL is good for something!
