a great one!

I love that faded out area, IMHO the black and white is a good choice.

Thanks, The idea of an SBS here is to give people an idea of what HDR can do

It is not required, but it would be really nice to post the unedited image/images in the SBS, so everybody can see what can be done.

This one has a real fairy tale feeling to it.

That is not allowed, suggest you read the rules, and change the photo.

Made me laugh, but is that a vignette?

I feel a straight black and white would have been better than the sepia.

Beautiful. I've got to learn how to do this set up. Well done.

Love the crisp drops gains the very back background, how did you manage to achieve that?

lovely

great shot

Cool shot... the lights through the cloud/fog make it look almost alien.

thnks for the detail....

Great crystals... just wish the focus was a little sharper

great shot

very unique formation of the snow crystals.

great shot, love the crystals

Love the shoot!

Very cool shot. To catch these crystals is always hard as they only happen on rare occasions.

Fantastic... can u teach me how to do this.....

This is great.

wonderful, I would crop it a little closer.

I like the photo. And I think it would have been great in one of the negative space themes, but I'm not sure a company would want it so difficult to see their product

Too much negative (empty) space, and few clients want their product almost impossible to see. The tagline, "make your way," combined with so much dark, conveys the impression of stumbling around in the dark, and the lack of a visible "guiding light," in this case, the camera, will not make the customer curious. They will instead be drawn to camera ads that show them what they will get if they buy the product...

To make the customer curious, you need to do more than just hide the product. Competition is seldom a game of Hide and Seek.

The product is way to dark IMO, logo looks great, but if you are trying to sell a product, surely you would show it.

love the bubble next to the dice

A lovely portrait.

Nice it looks like they are dancing on the water.

Took me three days to scroll down.

Love it. Nice to see a panoramic shot that isnt a landscape and horizontal.

very cool perspective...what did you use to egt that effect?

Author... I read the description of the contest:

"What happens if you drop milk into water? Or paint, dye, grease... Right, they form flows of 2 (or more) different colored liquids mixing up. This contest is about photographing these flows"

I think you actually did a great job here. By mistake or not you are showing (in focus) the "flows" of the pink and blue. Bravo! I would keep it and shoot some more with different colors.

I think the shutter speed it fine. It is actually the flash that should be catching the action. I would bump the f-stop up though to get more dof. If you do that you will need more light of course. I use two flashes set a 1/32 and reflect off of a light colored background. My f-stops are around 20. I am also using a 100mm L macro lens too.
