Nice job shooting the clear glass against the white background.

Only problem is ... you've now given some 17 year-old programmer a reason to think "Hey, why not?"

Better take out a trademark on that name quick :)

WWYT? wouldn't apply here because you're still composing the photo before pressing the shutter. Maybe "Wait! What Are You Thinking?" would work, although it may also be a somewhat DPC-community idiom more than photographic jargon.

Hmmm ... "hard to tell" was more or less the theme of this photo.

On a side note, I just looked at the photo on my profile page ... hmmmm ...

Yes, given his expression and his Tshirt, perhaps "Barker" would have been a good choice. :)

The bench is slanted -- it would look far stupider (IMO) to have the bench level and the reflected rooflines slanted ...

Maybe I should re-title this "Now I Feel So Blue" :)

Well, since I am red-green color-blind, I always have trouble with blues and purples. In this case, I was relying on Isaac's opinion that the monkeys themselves had a dusky purple color to them, somewhat like elderberries ... I can't really argue the case either way from Photoshop's densitometry info, as the borderline between blues and purples is so nebulous.

Thanks, I think you have the right idea, except for suggesting I make Isaac stand in a cold shower!

That wasn't really necessary anyhow, as I've apparently fooled you with (as I recall) a Photoshop effect and not real lens fog ... there was no "mist" as the shower was tepid, and I think I had to use the flash to get a decent exposure, freezing the large drops (not very mist-like).

Thanks, I never noticed that particular abberation. I think it's caused by the light coming through leaves seen mostly edge-on, but it was probably made "worse" by the small amount of sharpening I did, although I was trying to avoid any haloing. I suppose I could also try blaming it on JPEG artifacting ...

Be sure to tell him "thanks for sharing ..." from all of us here.

Thank you! I actually took this while driving (crawling) through commute-hour traffic!

I finally set this up as a printable image ... the image is so small I set it up like a "motivational poster" ... went searching for suitable quotations and found two ...
