Can you believe it? 4+ years later and I still have the exact same pieces of broken shard. Not only do I have them, but I found them! Alas, the piece of glass underneath is different. Must have made something out of the old one. It's also quite amazing to think about everything I've learned since then.

I recreated the same composition as best I could (with fairly minimal effort), but decided to take a slightly different direction with the processing.

It's replicated nicely, but I like the original better. The glass is very dark here, and looks almost more like a piece of candy. I wish the light would have illuminated it more to get more of a glow to make it more intriguing.

I almost like the lighting in the other one better, this is just a touch to dark, but I will say that I do like it alot

wow this is pretty darn close to the original. the shards look about the same so maybe this is indeed freakin_hilarious. If it is, I think it is funny that you still have this glass :)

I like your take on this. The edgier colortone seems to suit the piece. I like how the focus on the glass seems to be sharper too. Nice re-do.
