Tried a re-shoot with a black background on the water drops out of the kitchen faucet. Here is the original I posted http://365project.org/lynne5477/365/2017-03-21 if you have the time to compare and let me know what you think....or if you have suggestions to improve it. Thanks in advance for your time and comments.
@sarasotab@hermann@carole_sandford Thanks so much for your comments and letting me know you prefer the lighter image of the drippy faucet. I was leaning that way as well and just needed a little push.
Great job! I'm torn in the comparison. I like how the drops show up more clearly in the other shot, but I like the drama and subtlety of this shot. So I like them both for different reasons.
This is a nice shot but I think I prefer the first, lighter one in general. The solid background would work if it was a lighter colour I think. The solid black doesn't work with water drops.
Wonderful capture of the dropping water! Both of your pics of this are nice, but I prefer the black background ...Just my personal opinion, but I think that the water drops are still clear enough, and I like the way that the faucet shines against the darker background.
I prefer the lighter one. The drops stand out better and the faucet shadow add some depth. This one emphasizes the faucet rather than the drops which are the stars of the shot.
I like the tap and the air of mystery in this shot but I really like how defined the drops are in the lighter version. I sort of feel that here the tap is the star, whereas it's the water drops in the other one. All in all I think I would choose the other one over this one.
I know I've already commented, but thought that I would add: If you have Photoshop or a similar editing program, maybe you could blend the two shots to get the best of both!
