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.

Very partial to a drop myself. Like the brick wall and neat composition. Good work Sheepie.

Hi sheepie,

this is a great photo, great composition, great matter and well done.
How many shots did you take and how did you do it ?
Sorry for asking you so directly, I obviously don't know this one and am very eager to find out. I assume that a flash was involved.

Cheers
CTD

usually i'd say that middle of the frame is bad practice... but it works absolutely wonderfully in this shot...

I love it. The tone, the contrast, the lighting, the noise, the moire, the subject, the compostion, the title. It's sensational.

Well done...
Steve.

Thanks all - this was a shot I had in mind for the water challenge, but went with another because someone beat me to it with a dripping tap!

From memory, I shot around 30-40 shots of the tap, trying different settings, and missing most drops! Yes, the flash was used (although it was shot during the day) - came up with a very nice effect. Used high ISO, and then added even more grain in PS.

Another version with colour, and full EXIF info (same shot, different effect):
