Hi Everyone. Today it has rained all day so I took advantage to stay indoors and give another try to the T.L. classic water drops on a C.D. A few changes from previous attempts instead of water I used Glycerine mixed with red food coloring for the drops and for light I used a 60 watt spotlight just above the lens.

P.P. Smart Sharpen 136% Radius 2.6. Through neat image on default settings. Adjusted in Selective Colour, added saturation, crop, reduce and frame for T.L.

Thanks for looking. Phil.

Hi Philip,
I know such days - you like to have a motive - outside it's ugly and than you make experiments with CD and water - and the result is always so amazing!!!
I love this one, so pretty colours, just wonderful, thanks and greetings

Hello Philip,
An intriguing macro shot!
Splendid play of light and colours, the warm tones really brighten an otherwise dark day...
A well framed presentation with good details!

Hi Phil. This is an imaginative creation, sharp, colourful and attractive. It would make a good abstract hanging for the right wall.

Bonjour
De jolis effets de couleurs. Merci pour les détails techniques sur la note.

Thanks for viewing my Almost There

Good abstract, I thought it was a shot of a cake with cherries on when I saw the thumbnail! Good colours and lighting, original idea and a useful and helpful note.
Cheers, John.

Hi Philip
This is just amazing. Was trying to work it out before reading your note. The red dye works really well and looks stunning. Great colours and reflections caught.
