I was unsure weather to post these after seeing the quality of similar shots posted recently. But what the hell. I didn't have much light so a flash was needed, meaning I had a max shutter speed of 1/200 so not as sharp as I would like. Here goes.

#3 for me, great effect on that one...
#2 would've been better if it had have been a touch further away (or cropped less) so it didn't cut the top of the "cone" :shrug: off
#1, could you increase the colours? Would probably look better in that case?

I think numero uno is the best, would be a bit better if it had a slightly larger DOF so that the back of the splash is in focus too

What do you mean by this comment Snakey? Was the flash used to boost the light levels or was was the flash the only light source, in effect as ambient light was so low as to not record?
Nice shots BTW, though I don't think the painting a white background worked too well on #2 - I'm always meaning to have a go at this sort of stuff and never get round to it

Very nice, especially with built in flash.
Well done

Thanks for all comments.
There was some ambient light but not enough for high shutter speeds even with a high ISO.
Cheers. It wasn't the built in flash but a flash gun. I sat it about 12" from the glass at about a 45 degree angle at 1/4 power diffused at 14mm (I think) to take away some of the harshness.
Thanks, I agree. I've got something to build on now so hope for better results the next time.

)Welcome stiggy.
The key to sharp images is accurate focus, appropriate DOF and in this type of shot, a fast shutter speed. Because I was using a flash gun, 1/200 was the fastest I could use. I used a tripod to prevent camera shake.
There is a small amount of USM applied in photoshop.
