Consturctive criticism (or praise!) welcome for this "artsy" photo that I took this week :)

Looks quite sharp in the centre. Few grubby spots, possibly lens or sensor dirt. Not the least bit original and ultimately pretty boring.

Not the least bit original and ultimately pretty boring.Oh, right. I'm not trying to break new ground you know. I've never taken one before having seen them here and there so I thought I'd give it a go, but seeing as it's so passe I'm sorry for posting it :oh-hum:

Still. Thanks for thaking the time to comment ;)

Pretty good for a first attempt.
I think you need to get lower, and maybe add some colour, for more impact?

[Squeaky]

I was thinking of using some food colouring but seeing as I took a large number of shots just to get that one I think it would've ruined the effect.

I must admit I'm not normally drawn to this kind of photography (football is my forte) but I'm rather pleased with this and would like to try other artsy projects. Any recommendations?

I like it - by just trying something new to yourself - you are doing more than most people - if I was being constructive I would say get lower and at right angles to the drip. and try contrasting background,

Google for tips - I'm sure someone said use something to thicken the Liquid

I tried a bit going lower but it picked out the rim of the bowl.

Nice shot. Not tried anything like that myself although as an absolute amateur noobie I have tried to replicate the odd shot I've seen on here and elsewhere - but there's surley nothing wrong with guaging your own shots with something that may well be tried and tested? An easy way to get some feedback and constructive criticism.

Milk and food colouring (or indeed food) make it more interesting imo.

gelatine might help you achieve slightly bigger and better formed drops/drips

I'd also recommend milk and food colouring - I had a few attempts at this a few months ago :

Normal Milk (http://www.samiad.co.uk/gallery/photo.php?photo=105&exhibition=3&u=56|25|...)

Blue Milk (http://www.samiad.co.uk/gallery/photo.php?photo=104&exhibition=3&u=56|7|...)

[Squeaky]

Those are very nice Samiad. Thanks for sharing :)

Your 'Raspberry milkshake' shot :thumbs:

Yep, i tend to use milk too.
By no means perfect, but i think it's my best attempt ...
