Strange, strange, strange. I'm wondering how you did the tea? with ice in the upside down wine glass.

Composition- IMO a little less stuff in this shot might have made it easier to isolate the subject. It is creative, but its distracting to me. Good use of ROT. Lots of texture. Background- The plants are distracting to me as is the glare of light in the upper right hand corner. Technical- good focus again the upper right is bothering me. The reflection of a person dressed in black in the glass is a wonderful touch. Overall Impression- Meets the challenge, I might have tried zooming in on the "subject" of this and used the other elements as a background. Its obvious you put a lot of work into this shot. Has some appeal on several levels.......6

very cool, one of my favorites so far. it has more to it than just the upside down factor to it.

Not entirely certain I understand the title, but I like the photo. The book on witchcraft is a nice addition. I considered adding a glass of ice like this to my shot, but decided it was an unnecessary addition. Glad to see someone did it though. My only comment would be light levels. I think this is a picture that begs to be dark and moody and that overexposed upper corner kind of takes away from that. (Even if you disagree about the dark and moody, I think you would agree that it's over-exposed.) Maybe a few more plants to block off a little of that light?

I like the lemon on the bottom of the top glass (does that make sense? ;o), overall, I think the photo is just a tad too busy, especially with the background still very recognizable and the blown-out sky.
