I have just been looking at your outtakes. There are plenty of gorgeous shots there. I think you probably went with the best one, although I also particularly love 4421a. It is really hard to decide which one to go with, isn't it? And you never know how an alternative would have been received. The view of the whole thing is interesting, as is the link.

I am surprised that this didn't finish higher. It is a stunner of an image. I love the way the light gilds the glass. Not macro enough? Well not knowing how big it is, I wouldn't know.

Glass plant? Nice shapes. Lighting and tight crop detract a bit.

Not exactly a stumper but an interesting image nonetheless. Good detail, carefully focused. A different background color might have complemented the subject colors better. Lighting feels a little flat.

That is very mysterious, well done! Some extruded plastic wires, but I cannot make sense of the grooves on the surfaces.
The colours are not the most appealing, I would have fiddled a bit with the background, or gone black & white.

Part of a very intricate glass ornament? It is a beautiful shot.

I don't like the lighting, because this could be a KILLER shot. Please don't be offended by that, but there's SO much promise here. Light the background. Light the top. Use a gel to create some blue and another one to create some red. KNOCK THIS OUT OF THE PARK! GREAT subject.

Pretty glass. I like the lighting and the background. I would guess that these are maybe a bit large to be this size in a true macro image.

Decorative glass?

It's ... I have no idea what it is! Cool lighting, though. Has kind of a Medea look to it but it's more complicated than that.

some type of figurine.

lighting could be a little more dramatic

I'm guessing some kind of ornament. A different background and crop may have helped it stand out better. Otherwise, nice shot

Reminds me of Chihuly glass. Nice.

Love the side light with golden tones against that wonderful background color. Makes me think of tiny rootlets at the bottom of an onion. You have done an excellent job capturing detail.

Some odd shaped type of glass chandelier/lamp
