I think maybe color would have worked here because in black and white, it almost looks like a reflection instead of a transparent something or other. With color, you may have been able to distinguish top/bottom, etc. I like the way it is framed, and the use of the empty space at the bottom. karmat

I like the blue background, and the way you have cropped it. I know it sounds picky, but the smudges on the CD seem to detract from the image. karmat

Human Table
by Photo Jim

Comment:
At first I wondered why you would do a negative image. Then, I converted it and saw why. Good choice. Black and white also was somewhat interesting. I think a different angle would serve this picture better. Maybe lower (but not too much!) and more parallel to the table. Or you could have cropped it equally on all four sides, so that equal amounts of the table were cut or kept. karmat

Okay, so I'm an idiot. I have studied, and studied and I just can't make the connection to transparency. Is it the fingernail looking things? It's a very well done picture -- good focus, composition, etc. and I apologize in advance if I am missing something totally obvious. karmat

Vintage Lucite Purse
by Gracious

Comment:
Since the purse is the subject of the picture (according to the title and challenge), it may have been better to crop the glove and get the entire purse in the picture. Cropping out the very top would have taken away that "glimpse beyond" as well. I assume that it was difficult to photograph, because not only is it transparent, it probably reflects a lot of light, too. For that reason, maybe having two sources of light (one on either side) and diffused somehow (paper towels work well), may have helped you to keep from washing the right side out. I like the contrast of the black gloves and the pastels of the flowers and purse. karmat

The White House
by mardochee

Comment:
Not completely sure what you are saying here. Are you saying the white house/politicians/etc are transparent? If so, does that mean you think they are honest, or there's nothing to them so you can see straight through? I see the windows, if that is what you were focusing on, but they are such a small part of this picture, it is hard to tell. Aside from that, this is a gorgeous shot. Don't know if you meant to do it or not, but the white building between the blue sky and red flowers is great. karmat
