No comments on how dirty the glasses are please ;)

All shot around the f/8, 1/60, ISO400 mark with a single softbox either to the right or directly above, Very little PP done on these, upped the black slider and contrast, then sharpened after resizing.

What do we think to them? :)

Excellent, really love the lighting and reflections.

[Dee]

Thanks Vix, I cant believe I didnt try this sooner!

It's not often I comment on pics as I don't really appreciate all the work that goes into them, but I have to say from an abstract POV they're fantastic, especially like the last 2.

[Haly]

Really, really like those :)

[Kitten]

love 3 the best, followed by 4. Loving the depth of field you've got going on there, really looks like it's a long corridor that goes on forever.

I did initially think you might have flipped the original glass in 3 and made it less opaque so it looked like a reflection, but as you've said that's a true reflection then it's spectacular! Well done missus!

They're good photos. I especially like number 3. It seems to have a surreal - almost supernatural quality to it.

[Dee]

Oooh, well received! Thanks all, glad you like them :)

[Daz]

You cant tell but he is actually in checkmate on number 3!

I do like number 4. The glass almost seems to be levitating over the glass board.

[Dee]

It does a bit! I keep coming back to them and liking them more, which is unusual for my stuff ;)
