Refraction, eh?

Delightful image!

Love the pinks, the exaggerated images of fork and spoon here. I cannot imagine that this is really what the camera saw, at least not in one image, anyway, but the spirit of refraction is tremendous!!

The wonderful graphic greys, the shading, the subtle contrast and shading is lovely to behold. I would love to see this in it's original size, but as it is, it is a read treat to see

Best of luck with your inventive entry!

Classic good use of prism, and very nice capturing of the intense light from the spectrum produced, balanced with nice dark shades around it, showing the surroundings well enough for us to place both prism and spectrum.

I congratulate you on the very good image, and would love to use this as a desktop image

Good luck

Unusual image, this!

I imagine the original scene would show a 3D image in the plate we are looking at, though it is not so obvious in a photograph

I hope you do well with this, but suspect it is not so clear to many how it demonstrates refraction

I would love to see a movie of the plate being moved around in the light

Good luck with your entry

Spring Refraction

Comment:
Definately a very good image.

The idea is clear, the Colour crisp and rich, the pastel shades just so light, and the japanese influence in the out of focus pink patches in the backgound. I like the echo of the yellow and brown tones in the glass, found in picture to the right. Very decorative picture. I would like this framed in my hallway, perhaps

Good luck with your image

Subtle colours, I suspect a bit of Polarising here, but I may be wrong

Nice restrained contrast, and all the facets are displayed. I think I would be tempted to enhance the colour in this shot, and boost contrast in the two colour panels to push the idea a bit more

Good luck with your very nice image

Gravity? Where?

I like the idea, and the refraction is very clear to see

Hope you do well

Very nice image!

Lighting careful, restrained, Ideal contrast, and the separation and reversal caused by the refraction shows very well. I like the silvering of the top glas float a lot, and the subtle shades in the bamboo mat hanging on the wall.

The image is well balanced, and artistic too

Hope you do well with this image

Trick of the Light

I am not sure what I am looking at here!

The pencil seems to have changed into some sort of metal item in the bowl, but I am uncertain if it is a knife or fork handle, or what. I think I would like it more if I was more sure of what it reminds me of

A nice image though, and I wish you luck

Wow! This is a deceptively simple picture, my friend!

Very careful use of Photoshop, I suspect, what with the ice cubes in the middle glass, the top one very like an island floating on water, with what looks suspiciously like the underside of an iceberg, and no drinks in the other glasses. If they are real glasses, then they must have hugely long stems, as there is no appearance of any glass bases in the shot. I like the warm tones in the refractions and stems, and the cool light and blue sky and sea beyond the island

I am darned sure it's not 'real', but it is very effective - I look forward to finding out how you did this - It's not clear to me at all

Good luck with the image

Twisted Light
by sfalice

Comment:
Well, it's a blinder!

I honestly can't tell what is happening here! obviously, there is a curved glass surface bending light, but what shape is it?

And what is the shape like a thorn coming out of the middle and going up to a sort of trumpet-shaped space or assembly? Is it a dark piece of glass, or what?

And the twisting of the image, and the bending of light apparently within the object - I can't tell if it some characteristic of the object, or something to do with the background. I suspect it of being a hand-made glass sculpture of some kind, but with the intense red and apparent yellow light showing to the right at the base of the photo, and the purple or violet reflections, and then the white continuatins of those reflections, the only way I could tell would be a 3D photo of the object. The name 'Twisted Light' is exactly descriptive of the image, and I wish you well with the picture
