This original looks almost exactly like my Macro VI's original. That one was IMG_6606.CR2, this one is IMG_6620.CR2. It's the same drop. Obviously, I took several very similar shots! I used what I thought was the very best for Macro VI, and this one comes in second. Since that was my highest scoring image ever (and I've gotten lots of good feedback), I figured I'd do something similar for best of 2007. This one is flipped horizontally and processed just a bit differently. I think I like how this one turned out better. It will be interesting to see the score.

while nice, just been done a bit too much for me. I understand that it can be great practice to learn how to recreate shots that you like. But I would like to see your own interprtation of the shot vs a pretty much recreation. It is done well though and I do like the tones.
