Specular complementarity

I sincerely hope voters don't vote it down as a combination of cliches: wine glasses and drop shots.
This one is Amazingly perfect in a number of ways - showing the amount of pain staking work that went into it. A ribbon winner in my book.
I wish DPC didn't have the 300K limit on uploads - I can see some banding (especially in the blue background).

Such a beautiful picture with a wonderfully subtle color complement. A ribbon winner in my book. I just wish the title lived up to the standard set by the picture :)

Hehe - Can't believe I happened to be the only one who nitpicked on the flash hue :)
Congratulations on the blue ribbon - a fantastic shot from a fabulous perspective.
I see a 'Nike' curve on the bridge - Maybe you can make money off this shot ;)

Missed out on a ribbon by 0.05! Way too close - When I last came 5th I was off by miles so I didn't feel bad. Congratulations on a "Personal Best" and "Honorable Mention" on your profile.

That fence is way too cute and the apples are fantastic! There's a lot of depth to the image and I realized after reading your notes how much effort you put into getting that depth into your picture. Something I need to learn since my pic bothered me for lack of depth.

Congratulations on the blue! The lighting on this one is amazing and goes very well with the moon and the night sky.

Would love to see this in color - although I'm sure you had a good reason to go with B/W. Brrr... must've been brutally cold - hope it's worth your effort and ends up in the top5.

Aha! I spotted the hidden photographer! :)
So you've got not just yourself, but someone else to wake up at that hour. Kudos :)
As for the picture itself, nicely done - although I think the flash tone in the foreground is not gelling well with the rest of the night scene. My top 10 for this challenge.

Somehow this reminds me of the corridors from the movie "Shining". Very eerie and mysterious :) Nicely executed. My top 5.

Nicely done! I absolutely don't know how to capture the human element, so a bit jealous when I see such warm pictures. Hope this ribbons.
