Description
Somewhere on DA I saw a guy who once in a while went back to a favorite photo of his and retouched it according to his current taste and skill. Just to see if he’d make progress since last time. I thought that was a fabulous idea. Funny how a photo is not only a frosen moment in time, its also a frozen example of the style you had in that particular period. Lately I’ve been into muting the colors and light, sort of making the photos appear as visions so dark, you were lucky to catch a glimpse of it before it was swallowed by pitch black eternal night.Ever since submitting “splash” it’s been the photo I’ve received the friendliest notes/mails about. Since it has never been on the frontpage, all the 163 people who has

Wow. Amazing image. The darkness to it adds a touch of magic and mystery to the whole thing.
Don't know what else to say. It kinda took my breath away.

wow man - the difference between the two is astounding. It actually led me to ask "how in the hell did he do that?"
seeing the difference in background and colors......
im amazed. im just downright amazed that you could replace the color and lighting and i cant tell at all. Awesome job - glad it got on the front page this time

Wow, I love the sense of motion. The muted colors also give it a lovely, mysterious air. You focus on the action of the image - on what is happening - rather than any static object, even if that object was a person. It's great how dark the person is and how vivid the water droplets are, enhancing the image inumerably, especially with the texture-like effect the water has compared to the smoothness of the person and the backround.
...and to capture a moment like that is amazing! It must have taken a lot of time and tries.
Great job!!!!

thanks alot for your nice and long comment
I'm really glad you like the photo. It didnt take that much time or many tries. I took 5-6 photos from different angles. The girl (my girlfriend) hates to pose, so I have to work fast and efficient

Did I mention this was an absolutely incredible shot. You could do a billion things with it, it's so well-done. I do like the idea of the dark shots though. Amazing, amazing shot. Going in my favorites for sure.
