Great visual interest. Like the dark ominous colors, the blood red, what almost looks like an a-bomb blast just as the explosion starts,t he clouds in the background, Wonderful piece.

The focus seems to be slightly off on this one, please slowly and carefully focus on the top section. :)

Hate to see the completion of this series but I am sure it will be replaced with a equally interesting series.

Comment from Angelheart The First


Another awesome shot simonka!
And I love the title that you gave it.I don't know if you noticed it but the top od what looks like ice,has a face.Perhaps it's Satan looking for some more followers.I also like that one small drop,frozen in time and the smoky background finishes this one off great.
You're very deserving of a six star.
Angelheart ;)
I still have a post.

    Hi Angel, I love it...what you ACTUALLY see ...and have the guts to say so...It's the same kind of things or events I see in pictures too. I have stopped trying to explain myself and my views, most people started to think I was just a nut, and it just isn't worth the effort to make people understand. Thank you so much for your high rating and for expressing your mind and views. Thanks for being you!

    Thank you so much simonka for understanding that I am a very open minded(and mouthed) person.I have had a couple of fights here because I don't pay to take someone's sh--!My friends have always said that people have two choices...they can love me or hate me.No in-between.And it's true,I 'yam' who I 'yam' LOL.

    Without the red or the vapour, where would it be? I didn't add the vapour, I only coloured the water. I respect your opinion, I just like the very unusual ... thanks for your review and comment!

    Thank you! I really am appreciating reviews more and more these days, whether all good or some critiques, which are good too, since I usually fix the problem and learn from it. Thank you for your comments, they are very motivating!
Comment from DORA E


This is wonderful, just love the title. Looks like something emerging from the depths of hell, the vibrant red is awesome, a diamond encrusted alien maybe, the puff of smoke behind symbolising it's first breath of air. Gosh I'm getting carried away , it's such a groovy shot I love it.

    Thanks for your concern, and your review and great comments! Funny, one of my reviews said that after reading about my root canal, he couldn't get the similarity of my image and root canal out of his head! LOL! And now I can't either, ha!

    That's Funny, I think.
Comment from pattigirl


Nice work here. I did not know about the loss of your set up. You did get some fine images though. Hope you are feeling better. The title for this is really good. The mystery that is conveyed with the colors and lights and darks here lends itself to the title. Impressive work! I have enjoyed your water drop series very much.

Comment from lynnkah


Yet again simonka have to use just one word to describe this, 'WOW!"
the effect on this one is awesome and the name fits perfectly. I hate to think this is the last of your water series I have truly enjoyed them, but looking forward to some space photos should be interesting
Great work and glad your back

    Hi Lynnkah, so glad you enjoyed these series, I liked doing them so much, I will find a different method of photographing the many forms of water elements. Space is another one of my fascinations, going to be interesting, I have started accumulating some stuff, and ideas in my head, its definitely going to be another tedious, but fun setup! Thank you again for your great review, and comments.

Welcome back!This is an exquisite pic. Beautiful colours, sharp focus of the subject. You seem to have mastered the art of photographing water drops! Well done!

    Thank you for your excellent comments and review! I like shooting any of the natural elements, (and of course, the more UNNATURAL, the better)! when I find another way of capturing water,I definetaly will be creating more images! Thank you again!
