Broccoli splashing in water - This shot was taken in my living room with some strobe lighting and softboxes by Alien Bees Lighting. The fish tank I used I actually just found outside that someone was throwing away and it was in great conditioin , so I took it back home, cleaned it up , filled it with water , and then got the inspiratioin to start dropping things in it and taking pictures. I had to use a tripod and the timer on my camera to take this shot. I used several different objects to drop into the water , and ended up liking broccoli the best , partially because of the texture and color , and partially because broccoli floats in water which made it a lot easer to work with than anything else that I tried...

would have been better with my wifes home grown brocli ... she made me type that... ah she's gone frankly brocli never look so good as in this picture. Marvelous.
Are we trying to avoid 'cliche' by using broccoli? Whilst I enjoy the art of dropping things into water at dpc I don't consider this to be unique just because I've not seen this vegetable dropped into water so for me (if I was voting) this would not fit the challenge.
