There are several shots like this in this challenge. But the lighting in this one is exceptionally well done. I love it.

Expecting

Very evocative. Nice use of darkness. Just the right amount of light on the face.

Man, that train needs some soap & water, eh...

There's a nice idea lurking in here. It just needs something a little more interesting happening in the reflection. And some of the dirt dusted off the lens...

Orbs - redux

Nice concept. Great use of colour and reflection. And I think the positioning of the "horizon" behind the balls is just right.

My initial reaction was to think of cropping it more tightly. But on reflection (if you'll excuse the pun) I think not. Maybe just re-crop with the balls slightly further to the right.

Glass on Sky

Comment:
Nice use of repeating symmetry. Much more effective for having been rotated.

A pleasing contrast between the blue in the glass and that of the sky, too.

Glass Float

Nice framing and use of colour. But these glass balls are always annoyingly scruffy for this kind of shot, don't you find?

Eco

Nicely executed. It does leave me feeling a bit greened-out after a while, though. Maybe just one other colour? Aven a slightly different shade of green would do... :-)

I'm really gonna have to get me one of those aquarium things...

Great concept, well executed. I love the use of colour, and the reflection in both the glass and the water surface. Lighting is masterful - I think the lower lighting on the fingers works well.

This is just the sort of "ideas" shot that I love finding on this site.

A great idea, well composed, and with the subjects expression just perfect.

Does it need a better white-balance?

There are a few glass-furnace shots in this challenge. Which is fine; they offer the chance to capture some powerful colours and contrasts, it's smart to go and find them for a challenge like this.

My initial reaction to this was to suggest a broader aspect ratio, with some more elements introduced to the right to lead us to the furnace. But the more I look at it, the more I think you've got it right as it is. My eye is taken from the top of the composition to the bottom, courtesy of the slightly ajar furnace door. I like it.
