WOW!! Gus, this is my favorite of the series. I like the simplicity of the two colors and the design---a crown for a king.

[Julie Kenward]

I really like the colors and composition but think you might still be oversharpening things a bit. Those water drops look like they could cut ice!

[Alfred Forns]

Love it Gus The key for this one seems to be the focus on the rebounding drops !!! This is really wild !!!!

Not sure if its possible to have texture on the wall coming up? Sure is interesting and must have been fun pulling off !!!

[Harold Davis]

may be my favorite one too!!! nice job! this is supposed to be the last in the series? i doubt it:D:D

Hi Julie,
I'm glad you like it. The water drops are supposed to slice through ice...:D Thats the look that I was after. They also display in that fashion because of the macro ring flash; even though both slave units were powered down to 1/3 lumen burst with attached diffusers...:D:cool:
