I've come up with a few pictures and I'm just not sure which I want to go with. Help me decide! Reshoot is available as well.

    None of these are really doing it for me, given the theme. I like #3 but it doesn't really speak saturated to me. I get where you're going with the sponge, but I think there are better options. Sorry. :cry I think you could do something neat in the shower, though. How about a fast shutter speed to freeze droplets of water, or something?

    Just my two cents, take it as you will, good luck. thumb.gif

    Might I suggest that you add color to the water on the surface so you have contrast between the two? Another thought would be to have it dripping from the sponge or something to make there be action.

    Possibly some foodcoloring to the water would help?

    Food coloring could help (I'm not real sure, haven't ever tried it myself)... but the water definitely needs something to pop it out from the background. It's just so hard to see it in the current set that it could easily be missed when the judges go through to pick their favorites.

    You've got some interesting compositions going on here but try giving the water a bit of a tint, and if you have it available, try shooting on a white background with out texture, that could also help!

    15524779-Ti.gif although I was thinking a different surface/background. As far as a subject, the sponge does have potential. perhaps some action to rescue the 'static' feeling.ne_nau.gif
