[QUOTE="DaveH, post: 14015, member: 4667"] Wow. Thanks for the comprehensive comments Joseph and everyone. Most appreciated! Allways nice to get some feedback be it good or bad. Anthony - the backdrop didn't have glitter on it, just splashes of water which I put on there before I started taking the shot. The water droplets reflected the flash and produced a bonus bokeh-effect for the photo. I hear what you are saying about the relatively narrow depth-of-field but that's kinda what I was after in this shot. I just wanted the water in focus, not the glass in the foreground/background. I actually did try a smaller aperature which brought more of the glass into focus, but I didn't like it as much as it seemed a much 'harder' image.
