Nice use of thirds here. You see, the number of blue beads here (5) is just about one third of the number of orange beads (17). And there are 9 white in comparison to the 24 yellow. Brilliant! /MisterMattias

Hi Rod, This is really nicely composed, exposed and the background is really soft and nice. I wish there was a bit more water but the drops that are present are clear and welldefined. (get out the hose) Yvonne I have struggled to capture the shot I really wanted with this challenge myself.

Very pretty, colorful beads Rod, and the b/g really compliments the composition. Nice one! :-) CJ

Thanks Mary Anne:-) I really like the look of the background too.

Rod, I like the blurred lines of the OOF background, which give added interest to the composition.

:-)This is real rain Brent, we had about an hour of heavy downpour & now it’s gone:-( The background is the wet wooden fence & with the iso at 800 it has quite a nice grain/noise to it. I got some shots of glass beads with lots more rain on them at the other side of our pergola but the wind movement made them blur at the slow shutter speeds with the long lens.
Thanks Brent:-)

Pretty shot Rod, I like the faint pattern in the background. I know you've been having a drought there- so did you have to pour beer on them?
