leaky faucet..........

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I really need to stop looking at your posts :wink: . Aside from the fact that I want to say that we call them taps not faucets on this side of the planet this is a waaaaay cool shot as per usual from you. How many tries before you got this one?

I was actually imaging a leaky toilet when I read the title of this thread...
was a bit suprised when It was only drips, or drops (which one is it.. hehe :D ?) Where is the faucet that was leaky.. it doesn't in figure in the picture :) Like I said, very pretty and artfully captured.

this image was made with my SB 800 ...
taken in my kitchen sink, took about 5 shots in a row to get this one.

i then used channel mixer to convert the image to black and white, and used the Hue/Saturation to 'colorize' the image to get this blue colour that i thought was most effective. Then the usual USM.

EXIF data to follow, dont have the orig image on this computer
