Amazing shot! I love the bright colors, and the splash above each color.

Thank you all for your comments.
It's very easy to shoot a photo like this if you have 4 very patient friends with 4 eyedroppers ,2 kilos of paint ,considering that you fail 119 times, and after all these, you manage to find your opthalmologist friend to cure your ''red'' eyes with septobore ''drops''

Another striking image, Joe. I like the mix of color outside the glasses and the brilliant contrasts. How did you manage to capture all the drops at once? Helen

Joe, what a wonderfully orchestrated photo. How in the world did you accomplish this excellent capture? It's stunning professional quality.

Joe, I really like the "mix" of colors inside and outside the glasses...another artistic rendition. Nice background contrast...the lighting illuminates more of the mix on the surface in this one. The timely catch of all four of those drops is fantastic...just what is your secret? Really nice follow up to your first shot, Joe. MFC

How can you match four drops in one capture!

The image is beautiful, but technically this is extraordinary.

I know how difficult it is to time a drop using a "lowly digicam" with its supposed shutter lag but you manage to get 4 of them all at one time. Really ingenious! Another proof that creativity and imagination are the best equipments to rely on. Well done!

Great Series Joe.. I see you have gone further into your process..I really like them both. I do love the popping drops of colour and the beautful patterns formed and seeping . I think the colour contrast works even better in this one~ Brighter . Great capture/process and composition~Irish
