Was looking for some "explosive" feeling and didn't want to go 4th-of-July-frieworks route.
So, came to this one...

Nikolai I love it! What on earth is it?
Every drop here is important in such a picture. I'd open this up, if you can, to get the rest of the drops. I'm strongly against to depriving images of power by over-framing. If one shows just the lips, one can increase the feelings implied, however, limiting the spray here is not fair!
The blame I put on the zoom and also on teachers who preach "tight framing". "Tight" is for skirts not explosions!
Still, once again you surpise me. This is so much a Nikolai style; delightful, nothing less. Thanks for sharing! Could you also explain your set-up?

Asher,
thank you for the prompt reply!
It's, well, a splash
And sorry, no extra, that was the crop I got from the camera. I like the the skirt comparison though! Hopefully it will remind me to keep the crop loose in the future...

And here's the whole setup...
01: Here's basic setup: camera, flash and a "backdrop":
02: Since there was a lot of splashing going around, some basic protection made out of sandwich bags and rubber rings:
03: I had no assistance, so I had to press the remote with my teeth:
04: Hold the galss and get some action from the hose:
HTH

Great initiative!
No wonder Leningrad survived the winter siege from the Nazis in WWII!
Yo did well, Nikolai!
And the ball head is?

Awesome setup. I never thought it was an outdoor shot from the picture. The force of the water from the hose really gave it so much vitality.

Angelica,
The light is where you find it.
And yes, the hose added some life to it... ;-)
Cheers!
