What makes this "corporate"? For me, adherence to the challenge weighs heavily in my vote. That's why this image is rated 3. Having said that, I like the stopped action of the water, and the good catch of the green in the bill. I'm ok with the composition. I'd have done it differently. I'd have cropped it a little wider, and perhaps have included more than one bill. Bear in mind that these are just personal preferences. 3 sjgleah
Wickedly impressive camera work, great all round - DOF is tops, exposed to perfection, the water flow is well cool - great picture, it'll be up ther with the best...
I'm quite interested in what camera was used for this one?
Good, except for the shadows from the head-on light source (built-in flash?) If you have no other flash, I find re-directing the built-in flash towards the wall or ceiling with a thick index card works.
Definitely the BEST of the "money down the drain" pictures this week. And one of only a couple of people to get a good high value bill in the shot. Lovely motion-stop of the water and a well positioned bill. Slightly boring and overly harsh light. But the technical excellence of this picture pull the score up a good couple of points.
Who would have thought that "Down the Drain" would be the cliche title of the week? Your's is by far the best of the four. I really like how you caught the water droplets in stopped motion. Very cool. The bill is very sharp! Very nice!! I upped you from a 9 to a 10. Possible winner here! Swash
