Wonderful shot Amin, I really like the clear background and the drop on the ground.
The only thing I would have liked to see is more off the water on the ground, it is cut off now and it might have been better if you could see everything... you might have be in trouble with your composition then though... it's a tough one.

Thank you Cliff and Stefan
Stefan, you are right, it was almost impossible to get the water on the table into the composition also. I was already struggling trying to frame as it was, and if I attempted to include the lower part then would not look nice from the top.
But I have somewhere one in the batch that you might like it, , I think I can follow your thought process and one that I am just about to process has all the hallmarks like what you are trying to say, about including the bottom part. Let me see if I can dig it out :0

Just see your second shot and I very like it, especially the way you have light it.
The only thing that bothers me is the reflection on the ground.
Are you using a mirror as the ground?

Stefan,
That reflection was on purpose, I could have cropped it off but I like it the way it is. If the composition allowed I would have included a bit more of it but it wasn't possible. I kind of like that reflection on the base

I agree Stefan, its really fun. Only problem is the cleaning up at the end . You should see the mess when I am finished . But sometimes its all worth it in the end.You have that freedom as the artist Amin so do what you like, it's so much fun to play with water

Excellent and imaginative shots Amin. The first one does remind me of myself at the end of the evening (only a bit slimmer)

thanks everyone for the kind comments.
You can imagine how I was after the fourth glass , totally plastered.
And good thing I didn't decided to have a smoke after the drinks or else I would be stoned too ha

Good clean shots and background, white backgrounds are not easy to get. I am interested to know how you achieved this, was it in camera, though cutting the image out or other post processing?

thanks for your comment jon.dc
These are all directly from the camera, just tidying a little the background and using level/curves a little and then touch of USM, that's all processing gone into it.
The rest is as simple as just using patience and persistence. Oh sorry, forgot to mention also that what helped was taking 700 exposures, breaking lots of wine glasses in the process (I now have a collection of wine glasses that would be an envy of a wine connoisseur ), messing up the whole floor, getting food colouring all over myself, having a colourful shower from the liquid and spending 7 hours in the shed locked in surviving on cold sandwiches and lucozade, and also getting threats from the lady of the house that one of these days I am going to end up being locked out and then having to sleep in the shed .
