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

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?

Powerful use of colours and darkness, here. I can't quite see enough to understand exactly what is happening, which bugs me a little. But they be a limitation of my screen, losing some of the subtlety of the original image.

I might have tried cropping just a little more from the left side of the image, but that's being picky.

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.

Poetic title.

Glass Plus Sun=Energy

Nicely composed. The reflection of the sun and sky on the glass is great.

I might have tried overlapping the glass with its shadow slightly, to allow for a less skinny aspect-ratio, and to make it a little less half-&-half.

Why did you make it monochrome? I can see potential for great use of colour, here.

A powerful visual effect. A classic example of "looking where others look, and seeing what no-one else sees".

Nicely done. I like the fade on the reflection works well.
