I've been hogging bandwidth a bit with pesos, but I think some will
find this interesting. This is a case where I intentionally burned
the highlights. Iit's also a picture of a pretty girl, which makes
it worthwhile in itself. For the background, I wanted the water to
range from medium gray to a blast of hot, white light where the
water was hitting it behind the model. I used the Sigma 500 Super
in high-speed mode to counter the intense backlight. The lens is
the superbly flare-resistant FA 50/1.4. The numbers are ISO 200,
F3.5 @ 1/4000th.

Good work. The highlights at the upper-left corner would bother me if
I hadn't read your explanation that this is where you want the
advertisement to bleed to paper. The glitter off the droplets on her
suit are a bit distracting to me ... I'm looking at it on my laptop
so I know the screen isn't capable of giving quite the resolution
that my desktop system is. in print they should look good.
