1st place goes to "An apple a day #2" by monty28428
Beautiful colors and a delicious wet subject! (your first wet apple was also great)

Congrats to all!!!
As they were all great macro photos!!

Congratulations monty, cool shot!

Jason, what is it?

Congrats Monty! John, thanks for the critiques and the challenge.

In short, my shot is a stream of water flowing into a blue bowl, rotated 180 degrees. When I first viewed this image, the white-water whisps reminded me of disapating clouds. And the glare and reflection of the photoflood light looked like sun light to me. I know it's a stretch, but in my strange little world this image looks like a bolt of water shooting from the sky...

You all asked...

Great images everyone!

Jason C

Congrats Monty I thought your first shot was excellent as well and both throughly speak wet! I am curious though how Jason C captured his image. Cant' tell if it's a hydrant or what. Never mind I just read Jasons comments.

I was going to label mine "off the hook" meaning no judging next week!

Thanks for the win John and thanks for the congrats everybody! -- Congrats to all as I thought all the images were very good.

Jason that's exactly what it looked like to me -- so you're not nuts (or maybe I'm nutty too!)

I'll get a new challenge up in a few.

Congrats Monty! Great shots everyone!!

Congrats Monty! That was a nicely done drop shot on the apple. Way to got!

Jason, cool abstract. I was wondering what that was. Great imagination!

I hope to get back in the groove with the camera soon. I hope the major spring cleaning is mostly behind me now!

Well hurry the heck up! We miss you around here!!
