 I'm pretty sure this will tank, but I am fond of it. I was hoping to get some of the tension that Ben accumulates, but in an altogether different way, attempting to direct what he did, but with different subject matter. Long shutter shots of water may be something he does, but I'd like to think the images say far more than the silky retreat they depict.

Textures and thirds. A pleasing composition. Intriguing subject matter. Nice black and white conversion. It's all there.

I think you'll get voted down here because Ben isn't famous for his macros, don't be put off though because it is a great macro.
