Apple Drops
The nice thing about digital cameras is that the pixels are cheap. You can play and play and play and all you will do is run down the batteries. If you have a subject you want to work with you can shoot it a hundred times a hundred different ways and not spend one cent more for the resulting images. The only thing limiting the number of photos you take is your imagination.
This stop action photograph is amazing. The water droplets captured in midair and flowing from the crater in the top of the apple are fascinating. The inverted images of the environment seen in the suspended drops shows a viewer greater than is visible in the frame and you will note that these small images are sharper then you would anticipate. The cant of the apple surface sloping away to the right adds additional interest to the composition. I also like the dappled gray background selected. It lets the midair drops standout without any competition for our attention.
The composition is well thought out. You will not that the stream of drops is not on the center ling of the illustration but at about one fourth distance from the right hand frame. The lighting is also interesting with most of the illumination falling on the upper portion of the apple and leaving the pool of water at about a stop and a half under exposed.

Wonderful! I love seeing a subject included with the drops. So often you only see the drops. Adds much more to the image.
