Reticello (a blown glass technique)

Comment:
Well, 34th, and/or rating over 6, I guess isn't _so_ bad. ;-)

Guess I should have done something about the blow-out... I knew it was there, though it was difficult to manage with the way I lit it... But I'm sure I could have figured out something, and/or cropped it out, or some such something.

Thanks all for your comments.

Dots

Comment:
Very nice.

I had the thought, though, while looking at it, that having the 9 main dots (3 rows of 3, starting in the upper left) all fully in frame, and horizon lines match to the horizontal orientation of them, might make this even more impressive.

I like it. Alas, that bottom left corner is pretty distracting to me. The (near-) horizontal line in the background (not the floor->wall one, but the one in the wall) is also a bit distracting to me... The lighting is quite nice, however. :-)

Beautiful! (It might be nice to have just a hint of detail by the flame (that's a candle in cast or otherwise textured glass, right?), but it's a beautiful effect!) 10 from me.

Nice idea, making the shadows the horizon(s)...

Interesting composition on this so-familiar pattern. And I really like the lighting.

Wow, very nice. I'd love to hear the details of how this was done... I have some guesses, but definitely not the hole story. :-) 9+ (I'll revisit, and it may or may not get upgraded to a 10.)
