This picture shows that you put a lot of effort into th challenge. You have everything right,focus, original composition, and color mix. The end result is a little on the confusing side which I feel was part of your intention. Quality work. 10

Imprisoned for light

Generaly larger pics do better on DPC. I think you have a well lighted and technically sound shot. The lamp appears too centered for continuous viewing, so you might try shifting it to one side ot the other to invoke more interest. 5

I am impressed with your technique, but it doesn't reel me into thinking there is a glass subject here. It looks like a new planet or something to me, without your title. 6

Lily on the rocks

An interesting shot and nice macro, but there isn't much in it to suggest that you were representing the challenge "Glass". Ask yourself would an inocent onlooker say "Wow what a great picture of glass"? 4

I feel that this is too dark to spark much interest. It is an interesting piece so composition and different lighting could make it. 5

Stained

A nice shot in an elementary sort of way. Good focus, no distortion and nice crop. The colors look to be a bit on the grainy side from over compression, which doesn't allow it to be as bright as one would expect. 6

Glass Ship

I assume that this ship is fairly small, If so it is a great marco and nice composition. I don't really care for the ghost patterns in the background, but not all that bad. good job. 7

I am sure you have heard of trying to put a round peg in a square hole. Well this is kind of what has happened with this shot. The two shapes don't work well together, maybe if you had positioned the complete circular shape inside a portion of the frame it would be more pleasing to the eye. 5

Refreshing

I am fairly sure you were taken with the bursts of light, and you captured them well. The problem to me , is that the shot is too head on to the subject and all of the flaws show, which distracts from the light bursts. I always heard that with a B/W picture you should try to include the full range of the gray scale in your picture. For sure look for the bright whites and the dark blacks. 5

Boy in a Sphere

A very interesting shot. Too bad it couldn't have had a little more light in the globe. Do you think if his face were lighted that would have transferred to the globe?
