Very cool (and well seen / found). The DOF, lighting, and BG are perfect. I’m not a big B&W guy, (not right brained enough, I guess,) but it works for me here - although I am curious about the color.

Thanks Craig and Joe! I didn't convert this to B&W - this was shot at 5000K on a cloudy day, and the whole series looked gray like this. I liked the look at this color temp, which should have looked bluish, but didn't, so I left it as is.

I guess I do see some blue in there; I think that (the fact that this was not converted to b&w) makes this even cooler (no pun intended,)

This is stunning. At first I thought it was ice in a Waterford Crystal vase. The fact that it is an icy drop of rain water is just outstanding.

Hi

A special little droplet captured perfectly - a winner in my book, quite extraordinary


All the best
Matthew

This looks like glass art. Very original and interesting. I would never have thought it to be ice. I like this lots.

This is gorgeous- looks like a glass vase. Such an elegant shape. Love the muted tones.
