Through a Glass Darkly
by daisy77

The angle of this feels like the glass is going to fall right off the page. Which is good and bad. Not so great for a technically sound image but kind of cool to give a surreal feeling. Not really an engaging subject and the use of light wasn't played up as much as it could have been. At first I thought the image was out of focus but noticed the focus was actually good in the middle of the glass, probably would have prefered more of it in focus, though a shallow dof is good as I like how out of focus the back of the glass is.

Very first impression from the thumbnail: I want to jump in.

second reaction... so what? why was this photographed?... that was before I saw the challenge.

visually it's kind of cool but nothing is interesting me except for that first reaction. Could look better on a nicer monitor... the one I am temporarily on is unpredictable.

first reaction "wow" my eyes and brain didn't know what hit them. I kept looking at it longer to find out what the heck was going on.

brilliant.

Adding to what everyone else said. Context is key here, as was said with a cany dish or something. Perhaps even have a "crowd" of other colored gummies staring at the "body". It would be funny if you could find gummies with actual reactions.

To solve the "blob" problem you could have gotten cookies like teddy grams or gingerbread men.

I think a different title too. First reaction is I usually hate long titles. Simple is best. and I hate the use of "OMG" lol... ahhh acronyms. Maybe simply "They got Bob!" or "Not Again!" Perhaps even something serious to contrast the rediculous like "trajedy" or "dispare"

and of course the technicals would have to be pretty spot on.

First thought, too tight on the neck, or as Don put it, "big head". She is pretty, has engaging eyes and makes me want to know more about her.Why is there a pole in the way? The mole draws me, I wonder if i find it interesting or distracting. Curious to know what subtractive lighting is?

Looking at it more, I realize she isn't looking right at the camera but just enough for you to think she is at first glance. That's a bit odd.

So you are my first official reaction club comment. :)

First impression was, that's pretty! Seems like somewhere I'd like to be and somewhere I certainly would be inclined to take a photograph.

Looking at it further I think it's almost too much to take in and too much green. (Funny I just noticed people said not enough! But I mean area wise, not vibrancy as they did) The bridge seems like something I'd like to see more of, it looks really interesting.

Really interesting image. Curious to know where this is and what's going on. Not sure I understand what parts were painted with moble light but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Wish the people were a little more lit up.

An Artist's Connection

Beautiful painting. :) Interesting image, makes you think though I'm not really sure I get it. The posisioning and the candles and everything seem strange to me, almost religious. Curious to see how this would look with the model looking at the painting. Also the lighting on the painting is good but the artist falls into the dark where the image becomes full of noise, would much prefer to see him more.

Interesting use of light. Think this image would have been more engaging with a human subject, someone playing as a reason for the music to be coming out. I know it would have made the shot more difficult but it would have been worth it I think.
