Suzy Betancourt August 28, 2006 0

You have a great eye!!!!
Is that waterdrop added in PS?
I have been looking to learn how to do that, any suggestions where I can find tutorials?

You have a great gallery.

Ronald Balthazor August 28, 2006 0

Thanks for the kind words, Suzy. The water drop was real--actually it is a drop of glycerine. Since this photo I have taken others and have learned a lot about controlling the reflections. Hot spots caused by the lighting is the biggest headache. #3233646
