 The title from an old Bob Hope musical film. I have never seen the movie, just stumble on the title on the web and it fit this picture perfectly. Some will argue: "Where's the kid?". Let's just say he's gone for break ;).

I took this picture while having lots of fun with my new flash and really making a mess with water splashing everywhere. I wish I could clone out the water drops that show as OOF spots on my backdrop but this challenge being basic rules, I could not. PP included Curves, a copy layer in Multiply mode to increase the colors of the fruits, a little brightness/contrast and Smart Sharpen. then I resized for web and did a quick sharpening again before giving it a white border.

Nice capture, I would have liked to see something other than wood as the base though. 7

Nice idea. Love the frozen water. Might be too much negative space at the top, maybe a rectangular landscape crop would have worked. Looks like some sensor dust in the middle of the lemon.

Very nice. Good lighting, nice stop action. This should score well.

Hah, ha, ha! Your title in conjunction with your photo makes me laugh - good one. There's something about the plain grayish white background I'm not crazy about, but my favorite part of your image is the splash on the right side in front of the kiwi.

Great capture but I feel the space in the top of the frame wasn't well used. Maybe more water splashing up there or a tighter shot? I do like the color contrasts and the choice of the lighter plate and table really works well.

I like how the water is coming off the lemon in the center and the droplets in the air around it 7

a little overexposition on the lemon. I don't know if the water drop on the background work well, it seems a bit distracting. good idea.9
