Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Ha! Like the whimsical approach to the theme D, and that you've maintained a Japanese feel too. Great work with the colours.

Sidonie from Sydney, Australia

I might just add I think this is one of my favorites so far today - it must be for me to come back and look again!

@Sidonie: Well that's very kind indeed Sidonie! Thank you so much!

@Bronnie: Thanks Bronnie! What's happened to the link to your site from your user name? Have you deleted website details from the message box at the bottom of your home page...?

Rene from Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada

Nice and creative take on the theme. Interesting looking water bottles, used to ours being round not squared off. Cool idea.

@Rene: Thank you Rene!

Duncan Galbraith from Kyoto, Japan

stunning clarity here Daroru, love the vividness and depth of colour.

I am thirsty

nice capture

@KM Faisal: Thanks KM!

Kairospix from Singapore

Kairospix

great close-up capture! great contrast of colours and use of DOF!

reminds me of my days in Japaan drinking spring water from Japanese mountains! makes me want to go back and drink!

p/s Daroru - thanks for coming by to visit my photoblog, do come by again when you can :)

1 May 2007 10:47am

@Kairospix: Thanks Kairo! You wouldn't want to drink this water though. They're all re-cycled bottles filled with tap or rainwater. The bottles were lined up in front of someon's house to stop cats using the garden as a toilet! I think the glittering reflections unnerve cats. You see these bottles used that way quite a lot here.

Lyndsey Le from Houston, United States

Nice take for the theme - very creative, Daroru! :) Cheers!

@Lyndsey Le: Thanks Lyndsey!

Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States

Nice composition: they look like they are waiting in line :) The backlight works well, too.

1 May 2007 2:02pm

@Ken McCoy: Cheers Ken!

Zing from Hamilton, New Zealand

Nice one! Love the colours and the details.

1 May 2007 2:17pm

@Zing: Thanks Zing!

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

mmmm...water... おいしい水! Beautiful and unique interpretation. Love that contrast! Thanks for your help in making this theme a success, Daroru!

1 May 2007 6:09pm

@Damon Schreiber: You're welcome Damon; thanks for thinking of it! As I said to Kairospix above, don't think this is water you'd want to be drinking!

filipe franco from Lagoa, Azores, Portugal

A perfect composition of complex nature for the number of elements and his expression. I like specially the contrast between forms and colors. After seeing the work I am going to drink water - Cheers!!

1 May 2007 6:12pm

@filipe franco: Good luck filipe, thank you!

H.O from Victoria, Canada

I really love this おいしい水 shot　:) Nice !

oh!六甲のおいしい水♪ I love it (^^)
The details are beautiful!

2 May 2007 9:16am

@Ao: Thank you Ao!

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Ah... I've never understood what those bottles were for before. Thanks for the explanation. I may give it a try in my own backyard.

2 May 2007 5:39pm

@Damon Schreiber: Supposedly effective Damon!

Sylvia Van Nooten from Milano, Italy

As you can tell, I've moved backwards through this series, love the way you've deconstructed these bottles. Sharp, beautiful photography.

3 May 2007 11:45am

@Sylvia Van Nooten: Thanks very much Sylvia! Yes, shots 2 and 3 are of these same bottles. I like how you said 'deconstructing', I hadn't thought of these shots that way. On reflection, I would have liked to have posted these in reverse order, making this the final day.

Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States

Excellent!

15 May 2007 10:32pm

@Craiger: Thanks Craiger!

yieyie from Ecuador

wow this is great. some contrasting or pure focusing?

27 May 2007 6:15am

@yieyie: Thanks yieyie. I played around with the level of contrast, there was very little contrast in the original shot which I think lent itself to the treatment. I was very happy with it!

Sylvia from Newcastle, United States

I'm taking a little time today to look at some blogs/photos and came across this shot. I really like the composition, colors, reflections..basically everything. Good job!

@Sylvia: Thank you Sylvia!
