   Didn’t your momma ever tell you to wash your hands after sneezing?

   Seriously though, cool shot – was it natural or was there some pond life choreography going on?

   Great image and title! I love all the colors in your handful. Makes me think of Seurat’s Pointillism.

    I have not had a problem with noise. Here is a first impression review… and an image-stabilized shot hanging off the caboose of a moving train:

    

    If I was going to buy a new pocket camera, I’d go for the Casio Z55, or with a larger budget, I’d try the new Canon SD700 with IS.

    Thanks for the comments, y’all. It was a "found object" in the course of some pond play with my favorite hand model, a curious little boy. Here is some earlier work from his portfolio… 😉

    Nice to look at, but this could well be the algae in sewerage ponds that soon biodiesel is made from. :)… I am sure we don’t let kids or Steve to the sewer, but do you have a picture of the algae that would work??? wwwlists.ccc.govt.nz/wa.exe?A2=ind0605&L=mrinfo-l&amp…

    OMG… this is wonderfully creative and funny! I have the same thing in our patio pond, as nature runs rampant in late summer, but never thought of such a clever shot! 🙂

    Nice! The close/sharp/bright plants and the far/blurred/duller ones work well together and really make the hand pop out.
