Looks like an advert for sony headphones or something. It's dramatic, good image.

Brilliant. I love the framing. I love the way the wire from the headphones reflects the line of the face. I love the expression.

I can find nothing in this shot that doesn't scream "feature page".

Perect!

Excellent shot. I thought this would be a great response to this weeks' theme when I saw it on your site. The "freezing" of the water and the expression is perfect.

noushin said 816 days ago:

Nice Shot Andrew. Lovin it. Is there any story behind this shot?

Ana said 815 days ago:

This would be an interesting shot for the water theme!

smudo said 815 days ago:

the tones, the water, the expression, they all add up to an excellent shot! well done. how did you set this up (it's a self portrait, right?)?

houser said 814 days ago:

Thanks everyone!

Shane - there's a story in everything :)

Frederik - Nothing too terribly fancy. Set up a test tripod in the shower to get approximate positioning. Lock focus. 1 strobe, cabled on another tripod about 4 feet to the right of the camera, bounced off the ceiling. Camera settings - auto ISO, Shutter priority mode with a 1/500 shutter sync set. Turn on the shower and ziplock your wireless remote. Voila!
