I have entered, removed, re-entered, removed and re-edited this thing a million times it seems. Hopefully, I have had enough time to learn from each edit what might improve the shot. Hopefully, it won't be considered over-processed.

This kind of shot is much more difficult than I anticipated! I chose to imitate "A Splash of Color" for a few reasons. First, I just like that shot. Second, it was done with a Sony 707, so I knew it was within my camera's capabilities. And third, the appeal of the photo was not dependent on a challenge theme.

I came no where near the clarity and appeal of the original, IMO, but it was fun trying! I'm happy with the shot, but I could be happier. Focus just was a killer to get spot on.

Anyway...I hope it does well, but I really have no expectations at all for this. It would not surprise me to tank badly, and it wouldn't surprise me to do decently. I suppose I'm not expecting a ribbon, however.

I like this concept a lot. I've been experimenting with water drops a lot of late. I love the range of colors and reflections of those colors in the drop...

A little grainy, maybe on purpose -- I like how the "look" seems to blend from photo to more painting-like.

A touch of grain, but outside of this a superb capture with vibrant colors. Bumping up.

Oh so close. Just wish it weren't so grainy.

An interesting spin on a classic idea. I suppose you used colored objects over the water as opposed to food coloring in the water?

The mix of colours and their relative positions make for a delightful picture.

Cool shot. Interested to know how you did it. Seems grainy though - the blue in the upper right and the green lower left.

Try out Neat Image to get rid of some of that noise, other than that it really is perfect.

the colors are very nice, but the noise really hurts it.
