[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Polish]
I think the easiest way to get an exceptional photo it to take macro shot of water drop hitting water surface. In fact it's imposible to get two identical shots, so every single one is exceptional ;)

This photo have been taken in a metal sink filled with water. I used flash to freze the water drops.
The biggest difficulty is the fact I had to have lenses of my camera close to the "place of action" so they were almost all the time covered with tiny water drops. Hence the quality isn't as good as it suppose to be.

I've done quick PP work on this: cutting, rotating, changing colours, some contrast and sharpness adjustments.

This is a very nice water drop shot! Very sharp, good DOF, good ex The PP is very nice also.

Well done Monika !

This is beautiful. I wish to make pictures like this myself, but haven't got around it yet. I'm curious to know how you used the flashlight in this particular case. I love the sharpness of the little droplets against the blurred background. But why is the picture on its side???

Well done.
Tomasz

Brawo! Slicznie Ci to wyszlo :) Czekam na kolejne zdjecia :P Ewa.

Hi Monika,
A great capture indeed! This is not easy, though it is done by many (not me, hehehe!)... You do it well here, I also like your post processing but I'm not sure why you rotated 90 degrees CCW? Nice work whatsoever...
