If you're thinking of playing with that image, a suggestion. Crop down to just the water emerging from the tap with the drop on the end, plus some of the color on each side, then invert so the drop is at the top.

I decided I could do better, blocked some of the stray light from my flash and composed a bit different.

Fantastic image, Levi! You inspired me to play around on the porch this morning - using a bottle and our neighbors trees...

Trying out bubbles. Walmart has a bubble wand for $1 that does a nice job and is easy to use one handed.

Pretty obvious where/how this abstract originated.

**WPRESTO** · 10-08-2014, 05:26 AM

Here's a pointillist abstract.

**WPRESTO** · 10-08-2014, 05:56 AM

Here are a couple more fiddle-diddle with PP semi-abstracts.

Here are two versions of Autumn leaves pushed to abstraction by Photoshop. I prefer the second version
