Here's three I took today for "saturated" at a local park on the way home from work. I shot handheld and sacrifices sharpness for speed with super high ISO and only natural light (cloudy). Thinking maybe a flash might help freeze it better with less ISO noise, but don't want crazy reflections. Thoughts on any of these? Thanks!

    I like the second one the best; the circular pool really focuses the eye on the subject. I don't mind the grain, personally, but that kind of thing never bothers me. Cool shots!

    I like them, but the gray stones in the background are doing nothing for it. I'd crop them out, or at least darken them down. That will make them less distracting and increase focus on your main focal point.

    Nice.
    I agree with Green. The rocks are a bit of a distraction.

    #1 has a cool tension and anticipation about it.

    #2 is one that I have seen alot, but your version has a nice effect that you could almost flip it upside down and the image would work also - dripping down.

    #3 is a great macro - it is my favorite of the three. Almost a "crater" effect.thumb.gif
