Comment by Allyrellia:
Though someone else had the same idea, I really liked the way you did this. I think the way you set it up was poignant, you made your point well, and it was interesting to look at. It would perhaps have been even stronger had the "half full" glass been yellow, and the "half empty" one blue, but perhaps the simplicity of your shot is still best. I gave you a 10, nice work. :)

this is really nice, I love that you added the sepia tone. It realy tells a stiry and conveys it's age.

Great take on the challenge! The image is very effectice - nice composition (but a bit crowded at the top), nice DoF. Lighting could have been a bit better.

Lots of people had the same thought, and managed to execute the shot better than this. It needs COLOR somewhere in it, just to give it some zap !!

An interesting study in shapes and textures.

The colors are a bit dull. Needs to be in true b&w or have some splash of color, maybe instead of water you could have used something colorful?

looks like the crop might be just a hair too tight, but very clever idea :-)
