 Ironically, this picture fits both the work and play categories since it was taken while working on a project for my engineering class, where we had to design and advertise a water bottle. this particular picture was meant to be reminiscent of childhood water fights (balloons, buckets, the whole 9 yards) between friends. please let me know how you feel about it! i know its not anywhere close to being a perfect picture but anything's worth a shot.

I am for once don`t mind the busy background in here,
But there are two issues preventing this picture from scoring high.

1- Big part of the face is over exposed, which caused some details loss, like the subject`s eyebrow.
2- You used a big Aperture 3.5, which increase the DOF, makes parts of the water and the model face a bet soft, I`d go for aperture 5.6 or 6.

It is a very nice try, the problems are minor, but the creativity is there, just need more practise :)
Keep shooting and all the best,

Basic challenge so not much you can do but the whites are little washed out over the eyes. A ND filter might have helped?

how'd you get the water to spiral like that? :)

Great capture. I wish the lighting were less harsh, or this would be way up there!
