Yet another beautiful highspeed shot. The way the water is shaped, it looks, at first glance, to be a bird, flying away from the flower's surface. Then it is an insect coming to land on the flower in search of pollen.
I really love and admire the way you capture a moment, nay rather an instant in time with these photos. I'd love to know how you go about setting them up in order to capture these perfect shots.
The almost black and white feel of the image is not too stark, it's moderated by the hand holding the flower.
Another great image for your collection!

A most impressive piece, the formation of the water an that of the dandelion intertwines as if to fill the empty surroundings making a much bolder statement towards the actual image, it gives off the same effect as it would if you were to use a frame or borders. The artist is very minimalistic because of this the image is so much more profound, this benefits the image as does the lighting the shimmers of light that protrude from the water formed bird adds like a dream aspect to the artists work opening up the imagination which in turn projects deeper thoughts towards this piece.

how do you "force" the water in its form? i mean, as you say "highly experimental..." but is it photoshoped? anyway - amazing as always!

Very interesting. I love the water technique on the bird. I'd love to learn that. it is very imaginative and you should be proud of it. Such great contrast and the blue tone just anchors the mood. Very well done.

Lovely shot but according to the Camera details it says the speed was 1\800th of a second

Hey, awesome photo, but I'm confused about your saying that you shot it at 1/10,000th of a second, the fastest the 5d goes to is 1/8000, and your camera data on this image says it was shot at 1/800.... confused why you'd need to photograph a splash shot at 1/10,000 even if the camera went that high, 1/800 is plenty, right?

One way to do high speed photography is to leave the shutter open for a longer time (1/800 in this case), and flash the strobes for an extremely brief pulse, like 1/10,000th. When doing any work with strobes, it's actually the flash time that determines the exposure time far more than the shutter speed, particularly in a studio. I can't speak for the artist here, but I assume this is what he has done.
While water (or anything, really) is in motion like that, even at 1/800 you'll still get some blur that can hurt the details. I imagine that it would be half decent at 1/800, but not if you really want any detail on the water or to catch the tiny droplets.

Ok that makes sense then if he is claiming the strobes were 1/10,000th, I just felt the need to point out the fact that the camera doesn't even shoot that fast, still an amazing shot though.

WOW! I'm stunned. I'd love to say you how impressed I am and how cool your photographies are and that I first thought that it's manipulated, but these words would never describe how cool they really are.

amazing, was this some kind of bird shaped balloon ? or how do you get the shape so perfect?

I'm falling in love with this. Just amazing work, really soft and flowing. But at the same time this photo is so alive and really elegant! Just love it. Hand looks almost too soft but I think it's just in my head.
But can't figure it out... what kind of water are you using if you can make it look like a bird...? o.o

It...is just about the most amazing this I've ever seen!!!
I absolutely love how the er looks like a bird and an insect at the same time! The delicacy of the water reflects the fragile and lightweightedness of both creatures. Awesome job!
