Description
Add a few drops of milk to a large glass container filled with water, take picture, rotate image 180 degrees, pump up the saturation and whala. Surreal!My original photo was very noisy (grainy), but Erik Collinder was kind enough to clean up the original and send it back to me. Thanks Erik!

awesome concept!
yea, lots of noise though. And in your corrections, the sharpness has gone a little funny. You can try and tool around more in PS, or change how you're shooting/lighting. You could play with the contrast to get rid of some of those speckles, but you might lose some detail. If you get a chance it would be neat to see the unedited photo ~ but only if that's your style

cool idea all i could suggest is to play around with the lighting some more, maybe have something taped to the other side of the glass to bounce some light back??

Whoah.

wow the way the drops are centred is very picturesque. I looks like a jellyfish/octopus thing. or maybe one of those aleins from The Abyss. I like the idea of taking something mundaine and turing into something else.

Brilliant picture! I like the strong, white lines.
Noise is a problem with this one. Shouldnยดt iso 200 be almost noise-free?

Wow, amazing photo!
I love it! *wants it on me wall* D:
Maybe a frame would be nice around it, it kinda look too cropped like that.

again, a little noisy, as explain on your other shot
it might be cool to place an object (floating on the surface or just suspended) in the scene, sort of ground the abstract-ness in reality a bit. maybe a rubber ducky
by the way, PS has a great reduce noise tool, with an option for reducing color noise, which is mildly rampant in this shot.
apart from the noise, awesome shot

You should see the before photo. I almost didn't post this series because I was so disappointed with the final product. Surprise, surprise! I got more compliments and favs on surreal than all my other photos combined.

A few drops of milk in a glass container. The photo is taken through glass of the mild as it spashed below the water line. I adjusted the levels, hue and saturation to get this affect. I also turned the photo upside down.
