Awesome job here. You lit this perfectly and your timing was spot on! I am impressed.

Thank you I still have some sharpening to do that I missed. After a few drinks and editing my eyes get kinda crossed. lol

What do you plan on sharpening?

I want to lower the sharpness on the right duck and raise it on the left

LMAO did you really just tell a mod that you plan on selectively editing your photo?

The funny thing is after i did that i realized this one has to stay. Lol. I did laugh out loud at that one. Hehehe. . I will be good.

lol jfish be careful in asking how this Author may have pulled this shot off.
nice capture btw

lol @ cabldawg71!
ok for my setup I had a white backdrop and two strobes facing it on either side at an angle from the left and right. I had one light I was bouncing off the ceiling or it was at the tank somewhat... can't remember this shoot exactly but anyway I filled the tank up about a half way or a little less and held the duckie under water and focused and then used my wireless remote to snap the shot. After I focused on the ducks I let go really fast of the duckie on the right and hoped for the best. It took a few shots but this one turned out so cute I thought. It also took longer to take shots because I would wipe down the glass each take so there wasn't any unwanted drops in the shot. There was a place I thought was a drop out of place but it turned out that it was dried up on my lens cause I had some pretty wild splashs from earlier and didn't notice it (which I'm known for not noticing stuff right away) but anyway I took that one out cause it was part of the rules like dust on the lens kinda stuff. The only corrections I made were cropping, rotating and contrast, and some levels. That's it. Promise ya'll
So now with that said... I will be taking donations for my hard work. Benjamins only please...lol

oh and make sure your table with the tank is at a pretty good distance from the white background. I find it works best that way. Not sure why cause I'm no techy when it comes to this stuff but I know what I did and what I like.

I figured ya just climbed in the tub with em you deserve Ben for that explanation
This is a dandy shot

Ben? And i took all my duckies in the tub with me later that night.

Hey locks. It let me give you 5 more rep points. You owe me for that mr! Lol

Ben franklin dear Cnote $100

Lmao! I am a dork!

I dont do sbs's cause they are not requieed for photos but i did explain it above. If i do a shoot lije this again i will try to remember to take shots of the setup for you.

Awesome catch. I like the way you have the splash in the winking cup. The cup has "attitude"!!!

I Agree, nice set up and execution. well done author

beautifully done

I love it! BEST!

Attitude! I love that too! I smell victory on this. Hehehe... Loved it, Faved it, Voted it!

Good luck, Author!

Cute. Nice set-up and a good catch. The one thing that confuses me are the brownish cubes in front of the cup. What are those?

I'm guessing by the title of the shot and the subject of the competition that they are sugar cubes!!! Good job author, liking the contrast between the background and the table.

You live on a nice street.

Well, I wouldn't bet on that, nevertheless I appreciate the peace and quite. Thanks, anyhow.
