Pine Cone Splash


	Pine Cone Splash submitted 7/17/09, catchall. Pine cone dropped into an aquarium. Haven't been able to post for a couple of days due to work overload as well as storm-related electricity loss twice and cable loss. Things back to normal now, except for the work thing. Sigh. Carol L. Fowler

I tried this with a strawberry awhile back..Your pine cone definitely wins in the "Canonball" division ;-}}
Well done my friend!

Oh, yeah, this is a favorite of mine, Carol. Great detail on the pinecone and a cool splash, combined with a wonderful setup by you to get that awesome landing zone, really make this a uniquely creative photo.
