Liquid Swan
One of the most bizarre missed splashes that I’ve captured.
No photoshop tricks here. A water drop coming down, hit the top side of a drop going up. Forcing it to bend forward to create the swans head. Then it splashed down behind it creating the tail feathers. This all happens faster than a blink of an eye. The swans bill just happened to be shaped like it is.

When I saw this in your portfolio, i almost went past it thinking it must be a photoshop creation but lucky I didn’t …..you were in the right place at the right time
