I revisited this after your gripe thread comment. I gave this an 8, placing your shot within my top 100. I also agree that it is better thsn the other two variants on this image. But photography is subjective. There will always be people that vote higher on dog shots, those that vote on landscapes, those that vote higher on bugs.

After seeing your comments in the gripe thread I came here to look at it. This was among the 75% I never got to, but I probably would not have rated it as highly as the others because for a splash shot I can barely see a splash. Yes, the blueberry is incredibly detailed, but the milk shows very little detail. People like the crown effect of splash shots. A technical question; is this a double blueberry drop? It appears the hole in the milk is ahead of the blueberry as if there was another blueberry an inch ahead.

You were seriously robbed Oliver, I agree. The originality police got you on this one, but your shot is far superior to the other blueberry splash shots on DOC. The focus on the blueberry is just magnificent.

very nice...should have been cream instead of fat-free milk???? very good color

Amazing clarity, although I'd like to see a little more visually appealing "splash". I've never tried these shots, but technically you've got it down pat! Very nice work.

Perfect execution of an overworked genre. Don't sweat it, I'm giving it a good score.

Extraordinary capture, the sharpness and detail on the blueberry is outstanding.

the light could improve and the blue frame does not add anything - good capture though

The detail on the blueberry is amazing, it looks so big.

Very sharp. Way to catch the moment. How many shots did it take to get this? ;-)

yummy , nice capture

I love this..but i think the BB is just a tad too bright...a little burning here would have bumped it up for me...still a great shot! 8

Lots of fine details on the blueberry. I'll probably start doing splash shots about the time everybody get tired of them.

Great capture. Nice deep DOF.

The textures on this are fabulous. The detail on the blueberry and the tiny droplets and their shadows are great. A teensy bit more sheen on the berry would have made this a 10 for me. Top 100.

nice lighting, good contrast of colors

lovely simplicity. i wish there was a tad more contract in the berry as it seems a little flat (not that it effects my vote) 8.

The blueberry hitting the milk is a shot I've always wanted to take and never did. It was one of the first photos I saw on DPC. Love this!

fantastic sharp shot, you managed to get really close with this, very nice

Incredible focus on the blueberry. I would prefer more contrast in the milk splash, but thats a minor thing for me.

Beautiful color contrast.

How many times did you have to drop the blueberry before you caught this shot? Nicely done.

i love the texture u were able to capture on the blueberry it really makes the milk seem so much smoother

ok .. now i'm craving a blueberry ... nice capture not a new easy one with a white splash on white.
Post actions
interesting effect on the skin - nice capture of the drops also...
Post actions
nice capture of the splash. i wish the blueberyy was a bit brighter though, it seems a little dull
Post actions
Wonderful job bringing out the detail in the blueberry. The splash is also quite excellent. It all looks very tasty.
Post actions
Wonderful colors and GREAT details in this well timed capture! Love that we can see some details on the blueberry - some interesting patterns and variations of colors on the surface. Great timing on capturing is as it makes a splash in the milk - most definitely requires a great amount of patience so hats off to you on that factor. I also love the colors - the pristine white of the milk really showcases the blue of this small fruit.

Heh - if this is Jacko's, it's perfect for this challenge! (And the fact that a blueberry splashed in milk makes me immediately think of Jacko means I've been at DPC way too long.)
Post actions
I've definitely seen this image on DPC, I just don't recall who's it was. Looks great, good luck.
Post actions
Interesting....the texture of the berry just doesn't look real or appetizing. It looks like painted wood. That all being said, you've still captured a great water shot here. Bravo!
Post actions
Very nice stop motion and great detail!

I am one of those that love the milk and water drop thing. hahaha. Nice one.
