Howdy all, any thoughts on my entry? I've still got a little bit of time to make small changes or reshoot if necessary. Thanks in advance for any advice!

    He should be wearing a raincoat. Nice image, I like it.

    I like it.. fits the theme, good composition and lighting and it has an almost sinister clinical feel to it. All the best!

    Sorry -sent you a PM before I saw this post. I think the composition, lighting, and use of second curtain sync to show motion (if that's how you did it) are all brilliant! :cool

    What a creative mind you have, the very action you portray brings to mind the drastic reaction. Stunning shot in everyway possible.clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    Thanks for the kind words!

    I didn't even think of a raincoat, that's a good idea. Unfortunately I don't think I have anything but Gortex like hiking jackets which probably wouldn't look right. A silver or translucent rain slicker would probably have worked nicely though.

    The blue glove was a lucky match to the color of the mentos box. I acutally tried photoshoping the glove to a green to get the third primary color in the picture but it actually seemed to clutter up the composition. I ended up liking the glove and the box colors matching as shot a lot better.

    Oh, and as far as the "after" images go, measures were taken to ensure the mentos didn't actually end up in the diet coke. My lens was about 9 inches from the top of the bottle - would have been ugly!
