From the thumbnails, it looks like there are a few "message in a bottle" submissions. But this one is nicely done.

Maybe you meant to submit this one to the "stationary" challenge?

Through the Looking Glass

A powerfully poignant composition, imparting a strong sense of sadness and separation. Beautiful.

The low light on the hand really emphasises the sense of there being a barrier, which is further enhanced by the imperfections on the glass in front of the face. And since the boy is clearly in the sunlight, while we are not, there's a strong sense that it is the viewer who has been isolated, not the boy.

I could sit and look at this for ages. I have, in fact.

A few simple elements - prepared, presented and composed beautifully. I'm taking notes...

Stunning. The strong opposing curves couldn't be better framed. The pattern in the blue is entrancing. And I love the way the string of bulbs provides a counterpoint to the prevaling darkness of the lwoer portion of the shot.

This one is going in my favourites...

\"See\" the light.

The effect from the surface that the glasses are resting on is great. It's a shame that the focus on the specs isn't sharper.

Nicely composed. Good lighting. It all comes together and works well.

Is that a reflection of a flourescent light at the bottom?

This is a really photogenic piece of glass, and you've chosen a good setting for the shot. But it needs more lighting to really make it stand out, I think.

Glass with a twist

An absorbing study in distorted reflections. I wonder, though, if it would have worked better in colour?

Essential Glass

What can I say? A masterpiece. This is surely heading for a ribbon.

I'd love to hear the story of how this shot was taken.

The only minor (minor, minor!) thing that bugs me a little about this is the double-reflection. But if I get to take one shot this good in my life, then I'll die a happy man...
