Challenge: Backlighting (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Atlanta Georgia. Home. Dining room table.
Date: Sep 7, 2004
Aperture: f/18
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/10 sec
Galleries: Abstract, Still Life
Date Uploaded: Sep 7, 2004

 I know this has been done before, but I wanted to try it anyway. Its not as easy as it looked. Getting everything lined up and the glasses clean was a pain to say the least. And since this challenge had "basic editing" rules, I knew there would be no cloning or cleaning afterwards...so that meant getting it just right the first time.

There were many many outtakes. I decided on this one because it made my eyes go in the right direction when viewing.

Hope it does well!

I'm really shocked/disappointed this didn't win, or at least place higher. The imagery is stunning!

i think i recognize the artist (i.e. //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=20998). the question is...is it the same artist?

1,000% for composition, detail and contrasts. Really nice image. Must have taken a good bit of effort to set up the perspective so perfectly. Congratulations.

nice contrast of colours.

Nice photo of a regular theme. One of the more interesting of the glass, bottle, etc backlighting shots. Just slightly dark, imo.

Nicely done. Dramatic colours. Interesting to look at. It keeps the eye busy.

Not the first of these I've seen... hence your title... I like your choice of colors and your decision to make the field behind the glasses quite large with the light dropping off at the outside. This works excellently.

well done 9
 09/09/2004 07:37:40 PM
LOL! Nice work!

Good title, colors and lighting but similar images have been used so many times in various challages.
 09/09/2004 12:47:02 AM
Cool design. great elements here.
 09/08/2004 10:14:58 PM
Clever idea. I think you could crop it much tigher and still get the idea. I like it though. Also could be brighter.
 09/08/2004 03:35:48 PM
Since I can't give it a 9.9, You may as well just take a 10.

Wow, this looks a magazine advertisement. Very professional looking. The lines are very pleasing to the eye. The glasses almost look like someone's behind. :) A very clean, crisp shot.

Popular shot around these parts... very well executed though.
