How can I improve the contrast between the water and bushes in this photo?
Photography Asked by 10 Rep on August 1, 2020
I took this photo:
I chose a bush as the background, mainly because water and a green background go together very well. I also had the aperture to around f4.5, so the depth of field is much smaller, blurring the background further.
I just want to know if there are more ways of improving this(such as using a flash diffuser, etc.)
Thanks!

I would suggest trying a large, diffuse flash (softbox perhaps, or firing a flash into a diffuser) lighting the water either from the front or from behind. Then back down the ambient light exposure to darken the background. That will give you a lot more contrast between the water and the background, and also let you control the way you light the water.
