Copied a previous winner, in a lot of ways. Tip of the hat to the "How'd They Do That" by Remie on "Impact of a Waterdrop", a yellow ribbon winner in 2002.
There should be at least 10 shots of this nature...
This took enough work to get the shot in itself, but it was pretty much a plane jane shot until PS got involved... I suspect those who saw the "original" (I know, I missed Deja Vu) will think this is not as good, and newer voters just won't like it, but I think it's decent, and it's dynamic. Maybe that will help.
Accidentally shot at 400ISO :(
