The above pic was created using a small water fountain, brought in by our marvellous tutor Maggie, a star tripod and my Sony Bridge Camera.

I particularly liked the running water and the shadows in this shot.

I also played around with a seashell using the mermaids backdrop for a covering background.  I like the details of the shells in this one.
