Raindrop caught in action

It was raining outside and the contrast on this table was nice, so I got out the camera. Set the camera to B&W mode and shot about 5 shots before I got a raindrop.

Considering how difficult it is to show water in action, this is a great shot. It could be a little clearer, if you had set the photo up, but this is a great capture.

Looking good. Now take 500 more shots and give us one with the focus going through the drop too. :P lol! JK. I like the use of black and white and the drop is just perfectly placed in the composition.

Good use of BW. Using the camera's mode for BW has given me something to think about (ouch, my head hurts). I like the angle of the table and the fact that the shot of the drop is not crisp. Had the drip been crisp, the dreariness of the day would have been lost. Everything in this shot is important to its message, not just the drip. Great shot, luck or no luck. Keep up the good work and opportunities to take great shots.

Wow, tremendous capture. Great choice using bw, it really heightens the drama as the droplet explodes on contact.

Great composition and it really doesn't matter that the drop is not 100% sharp.

Gosh..you do such exceptional work, a true photographer I must say. You do deserve to be noticed with you gallery. This is just perfect. I think everything about this image is awesome, this is an unbelievable capture! The B&W coloring with this really does add something here too. This is on my desktop right now, I love it! A 10/10 from me all the way!!!!

Really simple but really well done. It creates a strong image and the B&W was a great idea, gives it real impact. Excellent work.
