I was working on a project for Tamron and had just horrible weather. I was trying to make chicken salad out of chicken poo.

I wanted a bright background, but still blue.
The setting used allowed a blue sky background with just a touch of the flashes reflected (as intended) in the water drops.

way cool. how do you like that lens? was the flash on camera?

[James Shadle]

Michael,
I love the lens. And the 4 flash heads were mounted on a ring around the front lens element.

Thanks James

Excellent composition and exposure James. Very nice image!

[Alfred Forns]

You are an excellent cook James !!!! Elegant image !!!

[D. Robert Franz]

Very interesting graphic image. Well done!!!

[Fabs Forns]

The composition here is outstanding. The UL and LR are crammed to the end and the UR and LL and clean, providing an effective balance.
You can create, Darth ;)

[Robert O'Toole]

The diagionals and the empty spaces balance out and make it work for me.
Good work.

Composing the image using diagonals is the way to go here as that creates more dynamic impact. Love the color and the dew/rain drops.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Love the crystal clear clarity of the dew drops and the composition is very striking . Excellent work and excellent eye in creating the composition James !!
