 Taken on a coffee table using two mirrors I took off of my medicine cabinets. The subject is a wine goblet with a bull's head for a base...I have a set, but not 7, so the mirrors filled in.

Nice original take on the mirror idea (which I also tried though didn't enter). Did you try a square-ish crop just around them?

Where is the focus?

I am assuming you had resized this photograph. I would suggest about a 1.5 to 2 degree clockwise rotation and a slightly tighter crop to give this more visual impact. The main subjects are bunched too tightly in the upper left corner. Other than that, I think this is a very interesting composition and cleverly executed.

In this shot with all the elegant silver and black and clean lines, all the images should be crisp and in focus. I am not a stickler for everything being in focus in every photo, but with this composition, I think it is essential. Having everything in focus would bump it up to the top end of the scale.

Excellent use of the mirrors and empty space. Focus is somewhat soft though. BOL

nice pic, would be better if you adjusted the mirrors a bit more so that the edge of the last one doesnt show towards the back

I really like the lines leading right into the center of the goblets. Great way to draw the viewer's eye to the circle. I also like the simple silver and black of the shot.

slight 8th reflection. pretty good though considering how difficult controlling reflections are.

This photo is much more interesting with the subject in the corner instead of in the middle of the frame.

nice shot. would like a deeper DoF to keep the "far" bulls in sharper focus.

Very cool.

Would be nice if the 3rd from left front was more in focus since it's one of the larger more prominent ones, but I'm sure thats tricky with the reflections...
