Hehe a ribbon, it`s been a while :)
This has been done a billion times before but i thought it would work well with this challenge. I choose the nikon brand bile yellow colour for the background which maybe was a mistake. If i had more time i would have used canon red but i only have sigma lens caps. I used my canon 350d for the photo as i have no macro lens for the nikon d50.
Sprayed water on to a sheet of glass about 10 inches above lens cap on yellow paper. Focused on the drops and fired away.
The 1st one like this on DPC and a better example Here Another one of mine using same technique.
Some out-takes.
Thank you.

Brilliant shot, Mark, but it resulted in me getting beaten up by my wife! She found the image a little disturbing as it looked like a lot of eyes looking at her - which it does - and she took her angst out on me! She thought it was a great shot, though.
Ouch - but we all have to suffer for our art - or yours in this case!
yours adds a different quality, MB. It has a lucid, dreamlike effect missing in the other "type" of shots like this. And the yellow only adds to that effect and I say it was a good choice. Congrats on getting back up to speed with your winning ways...
This is really bizarre. I really thought it was somehow animated until taking a closer look. Congrats on the ribbon. I dont know how u got the reflections so perfect!Musta been a lotta work, but i really enjoy the whole eyeball effect u got going!
I love the 3d effect in this photo. I like that its not as symetrical so it appears less "sterile" as some of the other expample of this technique that I've seen.
Interesting choice of colors, but a great effect. (Implying I'd prefer another color besides "bile"!) But regardless, WELL DONE, and on the mark of the theme! 8
Far and away the best shot of this challenge. Nice to see something this unique in a challenge that frankly I thought was pretty lame (including my shot).
I hope this is explained. I've had some theories but can't convince myself they would work. Nice, bizarre image. The "yellow" adds to the other-worldly look. The sharpness is remarkable.
An old idea here, but it always seems to work. I really like the color choice of the background. The different sizes of all of the images are very nice!
I'd have sworn that this was "faked," but it seems that the photo has "been validated." As such, I think it's a great shot, one which achieves a really cool effect. Kick-ass job.
Idea not the most original but exectuted pretty well, good that you used yellow as in the nikon logo. However, image is a bit busy for my taste, too many small droplets inbetween the big ones. Got a 6 from me.
