Actually, this is a photo taken through a bottom of a wine glass...the glass I used in the open challenge. I made the strip of colors on my computer and saved the image for desktop. Switched over to my new desktop, put the glass up to the computer screen and shot into the glass. Post-processing: Resize, adjust brightness/contrast, increase saturation and then added the black border. Ran it through Neat Image before saving final image.

Greetings from the Critique Club, Connie!

This is a really neat shot that I hadn't figured out during the challenge, so I really appreciate your comments accompanying the shot.

Colour, Composition, Contrast:

I like the colours a lot on this one, they are bright and saturated. :) My gripe is the way they are strangely blending together at the seams with those weird artifacts. That might be due to the compression, and someone suggested to me that I work on pictures in tiff and then save them as jpeg once done (works even if you took the picture in tiff!) Might also be your computer screen, in which case...still do the tiff trick, it WORKS! :) The arrangement of colours is just perfect.

This is a really neat composition and an interesting abstract. It does look like the colours are going down the drain, and I think that is what really makes this picture pop.

Focus and Lighting:

The focus seems a shade soft, but its not a fatal flaw. The colours are nice and bright and there are no weird shadows, so I'd say well done on all accounts.

Overall:

This is a great idea and an unique picture with great results. Its interesting and bright and at least well deserving of its score and placement! Happy shooting!

Lovely and simple and very striking - I particularly like that touch of red and yellow in the centre.

Interesting effect. how'd you do it? looks like a glass taken from underneath a glass table. Good luck. Jacko.
