I expected to see a couple of Saran wrapped nude females in this challenge. It looks like this is the closest it gets. This would stand out as a nice photo on its own without the wrap, and of course it only works with the wrap due to the challenge. I'm thinking how silly it would look without the challenge context. Good meeting of challenge and title.

I gave you a 6 but coming back and looking at it more I'm bumping to a 7. I won't fault you for the imperfect glass surface, but I like the different proportion face image in the glass vs the stem, the black glove and the transparent ring on the finger.

Nice DOF and star filter effect. I'm missing Christmas already.

...and shame on me! Nicely composed and very fitting frame. What is under her right thumb?

Behind the Flame

Unique interpretation of the challenge. I never thought of flames as transparent but sure enough they are. The man in the back looks like a painting and also like he's on fire. I wish you had posed him better. I think it's the gloved hand on the swing side that bothers me. 7

Beautiful picture that meets the challenge very well. Now I wish I had gone to our local tidepools to shoot for this. Can't wait to see where this was shot. I wish you had more width in it. 7

LOL good rules explanation in title. I was so concerned about that rule on a current challenge I included multiple artworks (not paintings) to ensure I didn't violate a rule. Now I wish I could figure out what yours is and how it relates to transparency. It looks like a cut-out cardboard in a picture frame.

A smashing time!

I hope that is ice. If it's glass it's really thick and sharp! Nice timing and stop motion.

Ghost Creek

This is really a beautiful picture. I'm not sure it shows transparency. The creek is reflective. Maybe the fog, but it turns opaque very fast. 6 based on the nice picture and border. Higher if I felt it met the challenge.

I sympathize with you. I didn't vote in this challenge, but if I had seen this I would have thought it was right-side up with a lawn on bottom, shaded wall and building even after looking at it for a while. It was just too perfect with no leaves or ripples in the water. Of course it's really obvious when you see the original unrotated image. If we had seen some more orientation detail "below" the lawn or if there were some floating leaves people would have gotten it. It wouldn't have been as nice a picture in original orientation, but it would have helped people figure it out.
