 This was fun. It's touch to get a decent looking water-shot. I took a ton of shots and was never really happy with them, but this seemed to stand out.

As for PP, I smudged out a bit of the background, especially around the bottom edges. Changed the hue a bit, and sharpened.

One of these days I'm gonna get a water shot as good as this one.

Nice job, Jeff.

you didn't take advantage of the advanced editing here. the background would've been better if it were whiter.

One of many variations on an overdone theme for this challenge (sorry, that sounds mean!)

This one however had been very well excuted. The colours are good, but there are one or two hotspots. I also think it's cropped a little too tight.

All that said, it's a good image (5)
