Challenge: Glass (Classic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G3
Location: My Car, out the sunroof.
Date: May 1, 2003
Aperture: 4.0
ISO: Auto
Shutter: 1/80
Galleries: Abstract, Water
Date Uploaded: May 2, 2003

I pointed my camera up at my sunroof, and hit the button. My technical on this is the following: Canon G3 with the adapter ring, circular polarizer, telephoto lens, in macro mode. It took a bit of setup, especially in the car. I think it worked.

BTW, I was just waiting on the rain to stop so I could get out and shoot.

*Critique Club*

FIRST IMPRESSION: I like the effect, but lacks a focal point.

CHALLENGE: There is not alot to indicate that this image is shot through glass, or even on glass. Whilst it does fall within the challenge guidelines it is not easy to ascertain that it is glass.

COMPOSITION: I think this image lacks a focal point. The pattern created by the rain drops is interesting but it lacks that real wow factor, that certain something that holds your attention or makes you take a second and third look.

TECHNICAL: Technically it seems reasonably well focused and executed.

CONCLUSION: Whilst some thought has gone into this image, I think you need to take a little longer to consider what it is about the image that others will find appealing. What is it in this image that I am trying to get across to the viewer and why should they take a second or third look at my image. A reasonable idea which has been shot with a fair level of expertise, but does not have enough impact to hold one's attention.

Keep shooting.

I like how the dark edges aroung the water droplets allows you to tell them apart from the glass.

This is very simple but very effective - 8.

nice jobo n this picture it was created very nicely

this type of technique has worked really well for a lot of people (take a look at some of the tutorials) however most people have used items below the glass, so that the droplets pick up and reflect the images below, creating some really fascinating and unique images.

To me, in this shot, the waterdrops are the star. The glass could be a sheet of aluminum and it wouldn't change the picture much at all. Because of this, I can't grade it too highly for *this* particular challenge.

Technically this appears to be pretty well executed..... I think it lacks a focal point.... it is defiately a nice pattern..... also it does not obviously (not that it needs to be bleedingly obvious) depict glass... though I assume the water is sitting on glass.... I gave this a 6 as I think it is a good effort, just feel it could better represent the topic.... Good luck, Todd.

This image would be great as a website background or wallpaper, but to stand on its own, it lacks a main point of interest imho.

freshing feeling !!

It's a nice texture and a good photo, but I think you have stretched to make it relevant to the glass challenge a bit too much.

Simplicity always works

Very nice macro of the water drops.
