[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello everyone,
It didn’t think that you will like this photo so much. It is really interesting that you are so interested how I made this photo. You see, the thing is that I don’t like to say how I’m doing my photos, because I think, that this makes like a mystery or something... I think that all of us have a different type of taking the pictures and that is why it is unique.
But if you really want to know, I will tell you.
The first step-idea.( It was raining all the morning, I was looking through the window and I saw lots of drops and it looked really interesting , and the feeling was like someone would like to say or show something to me... I was looking at the drops on my window for an hour and then I just realised that I want to take a photo of these drops) this was the thing, which made me to take my camera to my hands.
Next step- drops. I was trying to take a photo of these drops, which were on my window. I took few photos, but then, I remembered that lots of people have that kind of photo. Of course, I wasn’t happy about that, but then I opened the window and I saw the big drops on the opened window. I decided to take a photo of these big drops. So I started taking photos of these drops, but it didn’t work, because the background was a house. I was a bit sad about that, but then I saw a few drops and when I zoomed in they looked just perfect, because the angle was really great and my background was interesting. I guess I took lots of photos of these drops, because it wasn’t that easy to take them.
Step number three-selection. There were so many photos of these drops, but I saw one photo which was really interesting and clear, so I decided that this photo is the best.
Step number four-the main one. I really liked that photo, but I had to change it a bit, for the best results, so I did this:
1.Crop. This is one ant the main thing in photography, because every time you will need to crop something, so this time wasn’t an exceptional case.
2. Shadows. I just added a little bit of the shadows, because I wanted to get a contract.
3.Rotation. I was happy about this photo, but not enough, so I tried to rotate it and it looked so interesting to me that I decided to leave this photo just like that, because these drops looked something more not like just a simple drops. They looked interesting and mysteriously.
That’s it. Thank you for reading and grades.
Regards,
Ieva

Very creative and interesting shot. I am guessing that you turned the image 180° so that the drops appear to be hanging upward. Perhaps you could write a short note explaining how you achieved the shot? In any event, it is a well-composed and intriguing shot. Well done.

Hi Ieva
Very nice shot - simple but effective - the tops almost look like mercury
I agree with messenger1 - even just a short note to say how you did it would help others practice similar shots
Nice shot
Cheers
