This is great, but you must find a way to create a different color. Perhaps it can be done it photoshop, but anything but cyan would put this over the top. This has a great sense of moment. Make the color support that, and this would be a killer image...dust spot on lower ring (minor, but lose it).

Another way cool image, Emanuele!!! I love the drops AND the patterns in the water! Bet you could add a splash of food coloring - or maybe two different colors and really come up with some surrealistic images that would make a hippy remember the old days..LOL.

Thanks for all the kind comments :-)

Pete:
I've already done all the 3 photos of this series with the cyan BG, but the next time that I do it I'll remember your advice.Thanks

So how big was the flood when you finished M8t

Beautiful, clear, SHARP !!!, love the relief of that large ripple and the depth in the centre.

All the best Emanuele, excellent result
