A combination of HDR and the Original un-edited version.
I simply transformed the un-edited into HDR, then put the un-edited and HDR images
layered on top of each other at 50% opacity.

There is reason behind this process, Usually when I take a pretty cool picture that I setup etc. I always try all the different options. Some I like, some I don't.
So I try HDR, Lomo, B&W etc. and what I like I keep

So, I tried HDR. I loved the way HDR made the water look splashing out of the cup, but I hated the way it made the sink look like.
So, I blended them together to get this:


(I think it's best at high-Res)


And, for those curious (Because I know it's going to be asked...)

well done, but needs more prep work imo, clean your scene

Lol, it is clean -.-
It's a sink, what do you expect?
And I don't see no dirt or anything not "clean"
There's water from the splash in the sink?

yeah, disregard me, im a pedantic obsessive compulsive graphic designer, =]
i like it alot tho, the background droplets ruin it for me, the ones coming down, counteract the splash, making it less effective, in my eyes :/

cool idea i don't like the composition and i think the bit of water at the front would look better as the focused part of the splash
also a clear glass without dots might be nice

Yeah haha. I have no clear glasses
I think I'm going to re-try this with a Wine glass, with colored water. (Any color suggestions)
And the grape is green.
And I will do it with black backdrop. will be so nice imo!
tonight

sounds good
