You managed to take one of the most-repeated reflective surfaces (glasses) for this subject and produce a genuinely original image. The composition and depth-of-field work very effectively on this one.

Your picture is good, the title could have been: "This is What I See at the Office"

The selected natural setting seems good and atractive, but IMHO this image absolutely requires a perfect technique to compensate for the lack of originality; the reflection of the waterfall would need to be in a perfect focus in order to provide interest. I'm not saying that would be easily achieved.

did you use a tripod? if not shame on you! in my opinion this one could have been a winner if it weren't blurry. but that's my opinion.

This is a superb idea that's been very neatly done. However, DOF lets it down quite a bit; I think had the glasses also been in sharp focus and the surrounding background were totally black, this would have been a masterpiece. I'd try shooting this again in manual mode, set F8 ΓΆ€“ or higher if possible ΓΆ€“ experimenting with the shutter speed to get the right background exposure. Other than that, keep shooting it's a great shot ΓΆ€“ (7)
