Well I liked the action on the other shot better Jeff, but there is no denying that your subject is colorful and not going to be real common for those of us on a budget ( I can afford a few strawberries etc ).Love the color and clarity - I think you have a winner! #1173270
Anthony L. Mancuso August 27, 2009
Very cool Jeff..made me LOL when I saw it...I think it could use a wittier title though, like "Cell Splash" or "Can You Hear Me Now?" #7892902Debbie E. Payne August 27, 2009
Nice shot, Jeff. It's color is great and you really froze the action well. I hope it was not working any more. #7893434Christie R. Bielss August 27, 2009
ROTFL! I've had those days! A great shot! Really like the blue b/g with the red phone. Love Tony's title idea of "Can You Hear Me Now?"!! Too funny! #7893935Jeff E Jensen August 27, 2009
Thanks all!Tony, I like your title suggestion. I'll make the change before submitting it.
Just so you know, this phone DIDN'T work BEFORE it got dropped! #7894530

Beautifully done Jeff. I wouldn't even know where to begin to get a shot like this. Would have been nice compositionally if we could see the top of the glass though. #7894553Teresa H. Hunt August 27, 2009
