This was taken outside, natural light was used only. I adjusted the hue, saturation, and brightness. I also sharpened it up a lot to make it look more abstract. I was intending to draw the viewer's attention more to the shadows cast by this glass piece.

try to reduce the jpeg compression, it makes the image look blocky

this is an interesting image, i think it was oversharpened in photoshop and thats why it seems grainy. 4

A softer more ambiant light should have been used to show the detail of the bowl without so much flare. If the shaddow and light refraction is the main subject.... perhaps the bowl could have been almost removed from the shot? (ie: shoot over it making sure it had no focus?)

very neat effect, I think I would have preferred if the little tile pattern was bigger. :)

The shadow of this is stunning. I wish it were a little cleaner image, but maybe that's what you were aiming for!

Very nice idea, however I think you do need to have put your glass in better focus. I am also not sure about the background you have used (unless that is what has given the glass the purple fringing, but I doubt it. You probaly could have got a much better effect on a different background.

Seriously bad, no offense.

The highlights seem over exposed (blown out). I like the setup though. Good job.

Too sharp & jagged. Blown out areas are distracting. I like the shadow though.

Great concept, nice design. I love the shadow, but wish the highlights were more distinct, less 'burned out'. The image seems to move, but dang that exposure!

too much JPEG artifacts on this one, and I have to comment that the contrast is too high.

Great idea. Unfortunately the abstract bit detracts from the galss bit (in my ever so humble opinion) and the galss bit is a tad over exposed mid right. Still I really like the image

The glass itself is pretty detailed and busy, so I find that I'm distracted by the equally busy shadow.

If it weren't so pixelated/cracked, I could grade this a 9 or 10 with a clean conscience.

I really like your use of the shadow in the composition, as well as the sparkles of light on the glass itself. I tend to find the high contrast a bit distracting, however. While it brings out the highlights, you are losing a lot of detail that might add interest to the shot. Creative, though, and quite pretty.

The focus is not sharp.
