Wow this is wonderfully different!!!I Initially I thought I liked the sharp, clear drops better in #s 1&2, but am liking the way the color and highlights play in the drops in this image - also love the reflections at the bottom.. Creamy blue in center is nice too. Like the black bg - don't know about the oof lens reflections. Sweet image, Gus:D:D
Gus, my friend, another beauty...I love the fluidity and yet at the same time the way that the drops seem to be suspended in time. I also love the creamy blue. Very nicely done!
