Nice macro shot. Chair or small table?

[julsoph]

Thanks. It was one of the chairs.

Beautiful. Exquisite. Amazing. Gorgeous. Fine.

That's all I gotta say.

For some reason I like this version better than the horizontal.
Cool shapes and patterns. I like the black on black.

I like this one better too! Great fine art shot!

On the horizontal one, the missing drops where the lip protected the chair really bug me. The consistency of the drops sitting all in the middle of the "x's" is so strong that those missing few drops seems glaring to me. But here, it adds to the comp. I love the black on black. The balance is just perfect.

Leels...thank you so much!
Mark and D...it's interesting that you guys liked this better than the horizontal version...I tried a bunch of different crops, and felt that this one and the horizontal one were the stronger ones...heh. D, I can see what you mean about the missing drops on the other one though.
Thank you for your thoughts on this! Much appreciated.

Also very nice but I like the couple larger droplets with their reflections in the horizontal shot. I LIKED that there was an inconsistentcy in the pattern of the drops on the expanded metal. Patterns without some variation tend to be dull - like music without a counter melody.

Chunk...thank you...and I know what you mean. My sister was actually saying the same thing about liking the larger drops for that reason.
