This is an excellent photo. It really holds my interest, I find myself looking at everything to decipher what it all is and says. Position in the frame is excellent. Lighting is great. I can only offer 1 thing; the glare in the glasses is distracting me. Otherwise, a perfect shot. I could see this hanging on an office wall. Well done.
Edited because I just read your comments on the image. That makes the photo even better. Quite impressive and a lovely tribute. :-)

| I've just come across this photo and am amazed at the two 1s. Just what are people looking for when they judge this photo so lowly? No, this is a fantastic piece, every bit a wonderful tribute. |

| No wonder you're so articulate, it runs in the family. It's a beautiful shot. |

| Mostly because of my work I'm more interested in the embossing die than the specs, although you did a fine job shooting those too, showing the glass by refraction instead of too many reflections. |

| That looks like a stamping plate under the glasses. Very nice because it brings the wonderful coppery tones into this photo. Good shot |

| This is my favorite "glasses" photo. Nice choice for the background. |

| Good interpretation of the theme. Excellent image. Thoughtfully composed, well lit, sharp, elegantly put together. And a clue to the photographer's identity, perhaps, in reverse. (Your father, David?) |

| The lighting works great in this shot. The catchlight on the glasses and the shadow along the books edge really give the photo some depth. The colors are great, and I wonder if anyone else caught the name on the typeset...lol maybe if they print out the shot and hold it too a mirror they will get it...lol |

| Technically lovely photo. I'm just not sure how well it says "glass" |

| Your lighting and tones make this photo really shine. I like the small glare on the glasses. Interesting choice to use printing masters for the background. |

| Very nice color and contrast, really sharp and well focused. (Looks like an actual printing plate?). The glare on the glass lens is a minor distraction, but it could be helping define the glass as well. Good job! |

| I don't usually like borders, but you did this one very well. Unlike a thread I just read, my opinion is that you CAN ruin a nice pic with a bad border. The only thing I'd change about this (and this is reeeeeally being nit-picky) is the crop at the top. My personal taste would have left either more or less of the title of the book showing. The box around the title disappears off-angle, and then shows up again in corner, and throws the balance off a bit. I like the lighting and shadows..even the flare on the glasses; which technically we're supposed to avoid, aren't we? :) very nice composition, John...er..whoever you are. (nice that the authors kept the press plates from their book...was that Dad and Grandpa who wrote that?) |

Beautifully done. So nice and sharp, nice colors, simple, good lighting. A 10.
But I am wondering why the words are backwards on the bottom |

| Everything works well here, lighting, exposure, colors, framing. I especially like the type block. Among the very best this week. |

| A technically great picture, however I am quite disoriented with theupside down book. It took awhile to figure out the printers plate, so a little moe of it might have helped. 7 |

| Gorgeous tones... This would work well in a library, a fancy den, or even an optometrist's office. Absolutely beautiful work. Creative idea to use a pair of glasses. 10 |

| Nice shot, and if the glassness were more central (or the theme was 'words' or 'metal' or 'history') I'd have been able to grade it higher. |
