Woohoo, I got no ones. This is actually quite drastically cropped from a larger picture which included the entire glasses. I wanted to emphasize what I thought was the most interesting part of the photo - the reflections that the glasses made on each other and the shadows on the matboard I was holding up next to them. I had a vertical composition, but liked this better as it seemed a bit more unique. I'm surprised that no one commented on the missing glass, or on the fact that the perspective really is off for a photograph. The title referred to the fact that I thought that the reflections looked like ripples on water.

Nicely setup, the reflections are great, however; I don't like the dead space on the left

I would like to see more contrast.

I don't quite no what to say about this one. I like the look of the glasses -- given the title, I don't know if there's actually water sprayed up in them, or if the weird reflections are cellophane, or if that's just the way the glasses look. The only thing I really have to suggest might be trying a vertical composition instead of horizontal.

technically sound photo in my opinion, but i'm just not interested

What a nice simple composition, b&w works very well here.

I do very much like this type of picture although it is not a "decoration" picture, more a technical shot and one that is quite difficult to achieve. Outside reflections creep in. If is a picture to be technically proud of.

Beautiful shot.

Beautiful! Love the shadows, the angles.........and contrast!
Sort of feel like its cropped too much on top, would've like seeing at least part of the bottoms, but maybe that didn't work in the shot setup.
Good Job!

I'm not sure I like the cropping here, but it definitely has a style of its own
05/13/2002 01:59:00 PM
i like the shot, but I think more controlled lighting would have helped
05/13/2002 01:25:00 PM
sweeet ... this is like soo classicly cool
05/13/2002 09:31:00 AM
Beautiful shot..The lighting and composition are great.
05/13/2002 08:30:00 AM
I think B& W was a good call. I'm glad it's off center. Nice.
05/13/2002 04:18:00 AM
An army of glasses... I love all the catchlights.
05/13/2002 04:03:00 AM
Great technique but not all that creative and imaginative.
05/13/2002 03:34:00 AM
Nice use of black and white
05/13/2002 11:16:00 AM

People came up with some gorgeous black and white shots for this challenge, this being one of them :). The shadows on the wall, the highlights in the glasses, the shapes of the glasses and stems all gel really well for me, and black and white enhances it considerably. I feel like I'm giving out too many 10s, but here goes another one!
