I wanted to work with some different backgrounds and surfaces.

It’s fun but I do miss making messes!

Terry, to paraphrase an old country expression...that's slicker than cat's...ah, never mind.
I am liking it a lot.

[Loose Canon]

Thank you guys! I appreciate you taking time to view and comment.

Chauncey?

Cat … is pretty goldarn slick! (We have that saying here in MO too!)

[Texas Dave]

Most definitely different. Very nice image and set up.

Is this a photo composite or is the necklace actually in the water? The reason I ask is the liquid seems to be grabbing the medallion and the reflections don't seem as ergonomic as I would suspect. I would have thought the reflections would be prevalent in the catch lights of the water rather than the shadow side of the waves.

Hi David. Thanks for taking a peek.

The shot is one frame. Not a composite. And it is actually in the water.

I really don’t know what is going on with it. It’s the first time I’ve ever tried this set-up. I had to “build” a piece of surface to do this.

About the best I could do is offer some uneducated guesses!

[Barbara Ponder]

Excellent shot!

[Rita]

This is beautiful!

[Stagecoach]

Excellent work Terry.

I have to ask the question did you shoot this just as the jewellery was entering the water to capture the ripples or have it static in the water and drop something in behind it?

[purplehaze]

That is gorgeous, Terry. I love the blue.

Late to this party -- the question I want to ask was already asked (again!), this time by Grahame.. Very beautiful and nicely done...excellent as always...

Barbara, Rita, Grahame, Janis, Izzie, thank you for viewing. It is greatly appreciated.

Actually guys, I did neither! I played with several different ideas but there is another way.

[chauncey]

What's the big deal...
he hung the necklace from something like a clothes hanger and bounced it in the water.

[Loose Canon]

I didn't do that either Chauncey. It would probably work but if, for some reason, one wanted/needed to composite it wouldn't be a good idea to move the subject.

I like to get something going that leaves as many options open as possible

[Whistletown Wilds]

Breath taking you are very skilled !!

[Loose Canon]

Thank you Sherwood.
