Description Weird title, huh? But I like it.

I recently played around with water drops, and this is one of the shots I liked. The background was actually red, but I think the picture has more impact in black and white.

What do you think about this photograph? Constructive criticism is appreciated.


Gear:

The title is what made me look, though the thumbnail did pique my interest a little. Now, I'm glad I looked at it full size. Very nice work. I think it would have worked with a red background, but it would have been a completely different picture.

Thank you. Yes, the red background creates a very different impact. First I was unsure which one to use, but in the end I decided to go for the black and white version.

Actually the background was red, but I felt that this would look better in black and white.

the title is a bit amusing XD
i think the texture of the background through the water is the most interesting bit :')
