First try waterdrops

[Slaterza]

OK I know some find it cliche but I really wanted to try and practice waterdrops. I am new to macro photography and it was a real challenge. Creating a setup that allowed for consistent drips was the biggest challenge. I could not use my sink so I had to improvise. Then trying to get the drips to land in the same spot seem to be a problem they were constantly moving a little to the right or left.
Here are the results. Constructive Criticism always acepted.

This one looks like a seal with a ball on his nose kind of cool.

This was the best one of the day still not perfect focus but was happy with this one none the less.

1st try looks pretty darn good. I like the flash capture on the last one.

Look good- prefer the lower shooting angle of the last few shots

Thanks for the comments. I did the first ones then looked at some of the others that were posted online and decided to try the lower angled ones which I prefer as well.

#5 does look like a seal with a ball on it's nose-neat.

Very nice, esp. for the first try.

Great work for your first try! I like the last couple the best. Nice lighting as well, although if it were me I might bump up the brightness just a bit in post processing (just a matter of personal taste)!
