Wow, thanks for all the great comments. For everyone that wanted to know how I did this here it goes........
Starting at the bottom I have a piece of black matte board.
I filled the large glass with water leaving enough room for the displacement of water from the second glass. The small glass I turned upside down and put in the larger glass. I had to let some air out so that the glass would stay at the bottom. The background was 2 pieces of construction paper taped together and propped up about a foot behind the glass. I had 2 light sources, 1 on the left and 1 on the right. Both placed behind the glass pointing towards the background.
I tried many times until i got everything pretty much how I wanted it to look. Repositioning everything until there were no reflections or bubbles or other imperfections showing.
Thanks again for all the comments. |

| I love these refraction shots. Excellent on the glasses. Only complaint is the base could be a little more black and the image seems slightly angled. |

| Not sure how you did this one, but it's very nice. I wish the saturation was boosted just a little, though. |

| Outstanding; the 2nd glass is a nice twist. It's a shame about the black at the bottom, though. |

haha.. nice. The classic glass against split background, but with a real twist.
I like it, but is this actually 640pix? seems a bit small to me.

| This is done many times, but I still like this one. Just wondering how you filled the water in the small glass. Nice. |

| I've seen a similar image somewhere else on the site... points taken away for lack of originality, but you have met the challenge nicely.6 |

| 5 - Colors seem ok. Base detracts slightly in my opinion. Overall, a little too close to previous Challenges that to enter a shot like this is taking a certain risk in my opinion, has to be 'extra good', if that makes sense. This with a variation as mentioned in the base and overall a lot cleaner.. likely help this in my opinion. Just doesn't hold my attention/interest enough. |
