    Thumbnail, Photo looks good, although I needed to see the faucet knob to figure out what it is.

    Thumbnail, great image of the reflection in the glass building, they seem to be celebrating something due to the large number of people there.

    Thumbnail, Well composed image, it's nice to see, maybe a little more light would raise the tone of the image.

    Searching the web, I found a series of refreshing whith water exercises, which I followed to the best of my ability.

    1.- When I was young in the physics book: "Refraction takes place when the wave propagates through a medium that has a different propagation speed." I made a drawing of lines of different colors from a photograph and turned it into black and white, I printed it and with the result I lined two boxes and I put a glass of water. The light passes through the glass and the water and later through the glass again, and the different patterns are formed.

    The different photographs are based on part of the tests that I did looking for the splashes of water when a body fell in the water, and the next two made up of some cherries _MG_2110h.jpg Cerezas cayendo en vaso con agua.jpg

    Thanks for your comment José, however, for me raising the light would defeat the very effect I was trying to create but it's nice to get your input.

    A Gotas de Agua 1.jpg And the last one a drop of water, the result has not been brilliant, but despite everything I send them.

    An interesting set of images José, I too enjoy mixing science with photography - usually unsuccessfully. :(

    Lovely shot, José. I have one shot I like for this challenge, unfortunately I took it with a Nikon D300, it was the camera I had with me at the time. so I returned to the spot, every day trying to recrate the image but winter has set in down here in Tasmania and the weather has not co-operated., tried other things but they we not coming out as I wanted. So here is my image that I have broken one of Johnsey's rules to show it. The Derwent river was like a mill pond at the time. RIC_9933.JPG

    You were fortunate to get just the merest trace of a ripple in a moving river Craig, a lovely picture.

    Thanks Thumbnail, it was the breeze that was the causing the problem, The river is a tidel flow one, so it has it's own rythm and you can pick a time when it becomes still. I have fished on the river all my life and the time when the river is still like this, the fish do not bite as often compared to when the tide is a incoming or outgoing one, in flow.
