Nothing too dramatic. Saw this pool looking like a looking glass reflecting the two ladies in this garden. Thought of "Alice" and the "Looking Glass." Felt it would be a unique interpretation of glass. Along with the symmetry and color, it was a good shot for the challenge. Cropped for size, adjusted color, then sharpened.

Afraid I can't see any glass here.

Look out! The Queen of hearts is coming :)

Sorry - nice try but the water just isn't 'glassy' enough.

I don' think this photo meets the challenge... if there is an element of 'glass' present, it's escaping me... the reflection is nice, but the challenge wasn't reflections...

I really enjoyed your submission, it should place well in this week's competition. 7 Morgan

The fact that english is not my native language starts to kick in here. What is going on through what looking glass? Is the guy in front there taking a photo, is he looking through a lense?!! It's really hard to make out and glass is in my opinion not very well represented here. - 2

I understand what you mean by the title but the fact that there is no glass in the picture really brings the score down.

That's some very clear, spotless glass because I can't see any! Or are you talking about your camera's lens? =-p

would been a much better photo if cropped just above the stones around the pool so you can just see the people in the reflection. the rest just clutters it.

Neat illusion! :) too bad that the water is a bit 'specked'

yours is a very metaphorical take on 'glass' :-)

Uhm. That's water, not glass. If the theme were 'reflections,' 'ovals,' 'old people,' or 'gardens,' this would be an easy 8.

Oh that would have looked so cool without the cutter inside the pond. Also I would have framed it a lil different so the whole pond was in the shot. The symetry of the shot is off a little bit (not quite centered) The colors look goop. I bet you'll have a lot of peopel who say it doesn't meet the challenge, But I feel it does, "the water is as still as glass"
