Actually, I like the shadow in its slightly blurred state - it certainly gives the feeling of motion and mystery. I almost would like to see this with the drops blurred as well.
No, I sharpened the dickens out of this...the image is fatally flawed...all I can do is try to shoot it...but 1/10 of sec, difficult focus, moving subject...which is why the 1st image only maybe works for me. Traveller
I agree about the shadow but at the same time I usually like to have at least one thing in the image that is sharp and not blurred. Wondering if you can clone in some of the sharp water drops from the first one. Paul
