Bravo Clawed!!!!! LOVE IT. It reminded me of the Eiffel tower. Every time I look at it I see something new.

Mishele, Can you tell me more about your photo? It is really well done. It looks like there is water movement becaue of the blur (great effect). Was this a stream or a rain barrel.....fish pond? So many questions. Would appreciate a break down on how you acheived the shot.

lol......break down

I took a black tray filled it w/ water and put the flowers in it. I had the tray in the shade and the background was some bushes in the sunlight. To get the blur I would hold the cam. and kick the table w/ my foot to get the water in the tray to ripple...lol There hasnt been any editing of this shot. (except cropping, because i dont know how to do much else yet..lol)
Oh and I misted the flowers w/ water. I m not sure what the set up was on the cam. I would have to look that up because I shot SOOOO many pics to learn what worked.

Thanks for asking....lol It was just something I threw together. I glad that people liked the shot.
