Great shot Dolores, another winner from you I bet! I like the circuit board as a background.Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
Hi Peder! Many, many thanks!! THis is the motherboard from my failed system ...the one that was a thorn in my side for a year. Glad to get rid of that beast! Appreciate very much your complimentary message, Peder!! So delighted you are back in the loop and have your weekends back! #44095Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Awesome shot, Dolores! #44099Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
Thanks so much, Carolyn!! So glad you like it. The shoot took me over 10 hours (split up over two days) to get this the way I wanted it! Was a bit challenging to work with reflections, a motherboard composition that would work well with the drop and keeping that needle in focus. Furthermore, everytime I'd angle the needle so that I had most of it in focus range, I'd lose the drop...whew! I think I will take a nap now! #44108Mark Oxley May 26, 2019
What an absolutly fantastic and original idea Dolores, and expertly excecuted!! The little touch of the droplet on the point of the needle and the reflection there in is a stroke of genious!! #44148Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
Fantastic shot, Dolores! Extremely creative and very well executed! Definitely worth all the time and effort! I agree with Mark, the reflection in the drop is the icing on the cake and really makes the picture. #44179Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
Greetings from America, Mark!! Your compliment had me smiling from ear to ear! I appreciate immensely your commenting on my original idea (and all the other wonderful stuff)!! That means alot to me. I keep hearing from photographers there aren't any more original ideas ...but I stubbornly want to prove them wrong! #44182Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
And greetings to you, Gary!! Wow....I am blessed to receive your comment also!! Your praise of this image is my reward for my efforts! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this. Now I know you all have some wonderful beauties floating around here so I'll go scour the site for some of your pics! #44185Tracy L. Kolisnyk May 26, 2019

You are such a creative genius! This is wonderful...! #44465Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
Thankie, Thankie, loved one! I appreciate your praise (but you're making me better than I am!) and it's always a pleasure to hear from you!! Sometimes I look at it and feel the background should be more out of focus but when I tried that, I couldn't tell it was a motherboard so I selected this one! Thanks June Marie! #44537Bernard B.
