That is a lovely shot, with the rain drops adding the icing to the cake.

Thanks Peter, glad you liked.

Thanks, some like the Yellows more, some are drawn to the Reds

This seems to be very true although reading your post about printing them I think number 2 would make a great framed print on the wall of a classic living room, whereas 3 and 4 would be more suited to a lively colourful area in the home.

Do you mind if I quote you on this?

Loving your experimental phase Robbie - I'm not often a fan of overly vibrant colours but these work well!

Saying that, the more muted blues in No.2 work brilliantly against the Poppy red

Thanks John. I drive the wife nuts by printing some off in A3+ and threaten to put up on some wall No 2 has come out as a weirdly balanced and captivating image.

I made this set of 4 out of nothing really. I had a 30min gap between conf calls in the afternoon, the rain had eased off to a light drizel so I popped out with the K-1, 25 and a Yongnuo flash - bit of fiddling to get into an usable exposure zone - 3 mins, 4 shots - 15mins PP

It's funny really, it's a simple setup, not everyone's cup of tea I realise but I enjoyed dabbling with the experimentation and will probably do more. I can see room for improvement for sure but I've taken a total of 9 shots in total and 3 / 4 are usable enough to show off. 1 is probably a bit too detailed, 2 is there or there abouts ref how much detail I want to show and 3 is adding a couple of different elements to bounce the light
It's a rabbit hole you can disappear for quite a while I expect.
Thanks all for your observations, appreciated.

The third one is actually a tiny bit easier on the eyes due to the pinkish tones in the centre. I've managed to spot a fingerprint on the left so that's got me triggered now though!

Edit: The third being a little bit softer does take away from the interesting circle patterns though.

In the pink bubble? Not a fingerprint

First attempts but see where you're coming from. Thanks for the feedback. 👍
I used Pixelshift on both and it does have a habit of picking up any extraneous stuff unless you have a clinically clean environment.

This one will drive you completely nuts!
