Fabulous image.
February 14th, 2016  
That's fantastic! How did you get it so clear if it was through glass?
February 14th, 2016  
I love this, the water looks like ice crystals.
February 14th, 2016  
Fab shot, great clarity, colour and lighting. - fav

February 14th, 2016  
Fabulous instant FAV!
February 14th, 2016  
Favulous...super clarity
February 14th, 2016  
@bella_ss I did a lot of cloning to get the black clear as there were marks on the side of the fish tanks which showed up. Worth all the effort I think!!
February 14th, 2016  
Wow this is wonderful Pam! Would love to know how you shot this! FAV!
February 14th, 2016  
Jo
Instant fav, this is a brilliant shot. I would love to do something like this for my month of red.
February 14th, 2016  
so well done
February 14th, 2016  
This is an amazing capture
February 14th, 2016  
Wonderful details! What lighting did you use?
February 14th, 2016  
Wow 😍
February 14th, 2016  
Fantastic shot.
February 14th, 2016  
@joeymc @salza Thanks Amanda and Sally. This was shot at Sarah's house @pixiemac. There was a fish tank half full of water with black card standing behind and the blackout curtains drawn. Two flash guns one either side of the tank. Camera on tripod with gadget on top of camera which sets off the flash as soon as you press the shutter. Focus on the water - keep on manual focus. Then Sarah counted to 3 and dropped the fruit and I took the shot. A few misses but some great captures!! I have tried this myself before but with only one flash gun had limited success.

Pam, excellent glad you got the shot. From what i have seen Sarah is rather good at this.
February 14th, 2016  
@padlock She is also rather a good teacher too Clive!!

@joeymc @salza have a look at www.sarahmckeemanphotography.co.uk

@pamknowler pam dont say that she will never get her head thro the door now!!!
February 14th, 2016  
@padlock Now now Clive don't say that!! LOL!! I can't wait to do go back and do some more creative shooting - always great fun to do something like this with someone else.
February 14th, 2016  
@pamknowler Pam, I wont but her field skills for chasing Kingfishers leave a little to be desired!!! However have to give praise where praise is due she is getting some cracking shots of wildlife. I think I should set her a challenge for Chicago, she has to take a photo of a stranger everyday, you can check she does it!!
February 14th, 2016  
@padlock Funny you should say that as we talked yesterday abut how we both are nervous of taking shots of strangers - Rosie @rosekind is good at it!! We could practice together!! @pixiemac - see Clive's challenge!!
February 14th, 2016  
@pamknowler Pam, I see.... @padlock you know shots of strangers are scary to me, but with Pam there, I might be braver!
February 14th, 2016  
@pixiemac @pamknowler you are only spose to photo strangers not frighten them. Just ask -the old saying if you don't ask the answer is NO!!!
February 14th, 2016  
@padlock @pamknowler Pam, looks like a challenge has been set.... and I can't resist a photo challenge. Clive, what makes you think for one second Pam and I would frighten people, we are kind gentle smiley people!!!
February 14th, 2016  
@pixiemac @pamknowler of course ladies I do apologise!!

Wow! Fave for being a fab shot!

@pamknowler @padlock thanks! I would love to try this but I guess off camera flash or good lighting is a necessity!
