Patience and dedication! You're teaching people that talent alone doesn't create masterpieces. Thank you.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Photographer found comment helpful.

A definite winner for me. You captured time in a bottle:-)

Photographer found comment helpful.

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I saw this posted in a Star Bucks yesterday.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Awesome pic. Really beautiful and quite life affirming when you consider how much beauty there is in the detail we don't get to normally see. Thanks for this one.

Photographer found comment helpful.

ive never gotten any that amazing... ive used milk, milk/water, milk/food coloring etc. its a lot of fun... frusterating at times, but fun!

Photographer found comment helpful.

I wanna know how to do that! It looks so amazing!

Congrats on a blue!



Photographer found comment helpful.

A very nice photograph with a great tonal range. I am a certified barrista, and would love to purchase a print around 11x14" to hang in my home. Any possibility of doing that?



Whether you are able to do that or not, I have really enjoyed viewing your photograph, which is a product of lots of hard work. Congratulations!

Hi Matthew,

My first instinct is to join that site and get into the fray of things on the thread ;-) To tell some of them how wrong they are in their assumptions: It is not a stopped video clip, there are no backdrops, mirrors, umbrellas, no sound/photogate triggers etc.....and to tell them I'm not a "poor girl" because I use a Tamron 90 mm macro ;-)) But I won't...

Wonderful image, congrats on your ribbon!

Photographer found comment helpful.

back for another comment, I praised this for it's depiction of the milk drop in almost a perfect splashy sphere . Black coffee now is brown!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Just outstanding work on this! Congratulations on a well deserved Blue!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Big congrats!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Congrats on the blue! This is just awesome.

I AM SO HAPPY FOR U , AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS BY HEART :)



Photographer found comment helpful.

Irene, many congratulations on your blue ribbon! Now you have one of each. :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

Thats really cool. One drop is bouncing up the other is coming down and they crash in the air. I just spent quite a bit of time trying to recreate this shot, its really hard to catch it in the right moment. I think i need a drop dispensing machine.

Photographer found comment helpful.

I am always amazed with all of your this kind of shots. Congrates on the well deserved Blue ribbon.

Photographer found comment helpful.

this is just brilliant !

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow! Incredible shot!

Photographer found comment helpful.

wow just beautiful; this shot inspires me to try the same type of photography.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful technically, but more importantly there is a scientific artistic beauty to this shot that is dare I say for lack of a better term, life affirming; like the beauty of a snowflake, you show this, and its nice work.

Photographer found comment helpful.

well... i knew it was only a matter of time before you took over the top spot in the tamron 90mm lens page. and you did so with authority. it'll be many moons before i get that spot back... :)



beautiful work. congrats!

Photographer found comment helpful.

What an exercise in patience for this photograph, congratulations on winning the blue ribbon!

Photographer found comment helpful.

All the way I watch your pic with my mouth open, you know what, Hmmm, I love this shoot.



you catch the great moment, in the next 0.000001 second it will gone.

congratus!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot. WHO gives this 3's or 4's

I've been toyingwith this idea. Don't have flash,can I do it w/o? Wanted to try food coloring in milk or water etc.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Congratulations on such an amazing photograph. A well deservrd win.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Not only did you need the inspiration to make this shot but it also took a lot of perspiration. I often think that copious amounts of perspiration do not make for good art. But I think with your project you have proved that picture perfect, as a result of blood, sweat, and tears (of milk) can be very artful. Congratulations.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wirklich sehr sehr schoen. Ausgezeichnet!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot Irene! Didn't see this before challenge closed, otherwise you would have had 48 10's. Just omg amazing.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent! I really enjoy your work and these drop shots are my favorites - they will never get old. Congrats on the blue ribbon!!!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Thank God you didn't miss rollover! This is awesome! Congrats! Even more awesome considering it was sheer eye/hand coordination. Amazing - I wish I had the patience to do these. You should change your username to "dripmaster" ;-)

Photographer found comment helpful.

I've tried a few times to do this and can't for the life of me figure out how you get your results. just amazing!! I knew this was the blue within 5 seconds of looking at the challenge thumbnails. fantastic!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Congratulations, Irene! This is such a great shot. One of the things that really means a lot to me is the wonderful and detailed description you've given. Wow, what an example of dedication to the art you are! Five hours for a basic challenge, and look at the awesome result. Thanks for being an inspiration.



Your profile page looks great with a ribbon of each color. Way to go!!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Pretty flawless example of its kind, especially with basic editing :-) Congrats on a well-deserved blue!

Comments Made During the Challenge

Great and creative speed shot sensor looks like it needs a wash. 7

Photographer found comment helpful.

Very Nice Image!

Having done this type of shot, makes me wonder just how many takes you needed to get this one.

Good Luck!

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a cool shot, is that really milk that is splashing. Sweet shot, well done. 8!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow. I don't know how much effore you would have to put in to get this shot, but I am sure it was a bunch. Wonderful. My guess is a ribbon of some sort.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Spectacular shot! Maybe the only thing to comment is that the link to the challenge is a bit weak

Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice!!

Photographer found comment helpful.

excellent idea...great execution

Photographer found comment helpful.

and the winner is.....nice job! (10)

Photographer found comment helpful.

Just my favourite shot in this challenge. 10. The drop looks like a sea/rock-pool creature..as if it's growing out of the surface.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Okay, I'll bite - how'dyadoit?

Photographer found comment helpful.

Happy Holidays! 9

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow - what a great capture! Hope to read more about how you did this.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Very cool effect! Bravo!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Awesome, a 10+

Photographer found comment helpful.

Pretty wild looking splash with that crown. Nicely done!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot, some color adjustment would have made this amazing.

Photographer found comment helpful.

very cool.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Whoa, this is awesome! It almost looks like a mushroom! Perfectly captured shot, great job!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Stunning image. The white contrasts the brown wonderfully.

The reflections in front of the splash are slightly distracting but still and 8 from me...

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is amazing! I hope you win the blue!

Photographer found comment helpful.

nicely done

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is an unbelievable capture. How many times did it take you to capture this splash?

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Perfect timing. I would love to see all of the attempts. One day I want to try this. That drop shape is incredible.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent..... top shot here, and hope it does well.....

Definately one of my fav's.....

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is so difficult to do. I know I have spent hours at my sink to get the right splash and crown. So I know how much patience you must have had (or did you use some kind of sensor trigger?) Love the brown and white together. a 10 from me.

Photographer found comment helpful.

An easy 10...



Glad I missed this challenge by a few seconds (my 2nd miss like that this week) - I shot nearly the same thing but yours definitely succeeded where mine failed! I really felt the pang of not having strobes or TTL flashes cause I couldn't get my aperture up with only 2 650 watt tungstens & a 250 watt halogen - my DOF was so shallow I had a hard time getting a drop in focus. It was my first ever attempt at stop-motion work & I obviously need a schooling in the technique...



Good luck!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Great corona shot with outstanding composition and clarity.

Photographer found comment helpful.

great moment

Photographer found comment helpful.

Well caught - either that or your milk arrives in some pretty freaky shapes :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

coffee looks a bit "muddy", but the "crown" is very nice

Photographer found comment helpful.

prediction...top 3! marvelous!

Photographer found comment helpful.

love this sort of photography ...

Photographer found comment helpful.

Good technical shot - how about a "how to?"

Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like the detail in this photo. The only t hing I have to say about it, is that you could edit out this three white dots, in the coffee itself...but you couldnt have done that for this contest, being it was basic editing, so good job!

Photographer found comment helpful.

wow, how did you get such a wonderful picture?

Photographer found comment helpful.

Really, really cool shot!!!! Now, between the chocolate and nuts, I think I should have some coffee too. *smile*

Photographer found comment helpful.

I never get tired of these shots. The milk drop is especially amazing in this one! 10

Photographer found comment helpful.

great mushroom...how many did you have to take before you got this one?

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow! This is fantastic!

Photographer found comment helpful.

This has got to be Irene. Nicely done.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Oh my god! This is amazing!

Photographer found comment helpful.

This should do really well...it's a standout from the thumbnails and the bigger version did not disappoint...love the composition and the colours...9

Photographer found comment helpful.

Amazing capture, just not much brown color
