I love this! perhaps I relate to it entirely too well. great idea, very creative, and a lovely shot. I like the shadow of the glass, the light. very impressive.

Ash tray seems a bit too dark on the inside, as does the side of the pencil.

Nice shadows through the ash tray, however.

Good concept. Maybe have it smoking or something to intensify the picture.

This is a great photo! I love the highlights in the shadow, as well as in the glass itself, and the bold composition, and the white background. 10 from me - lisae

Comment by Kavey:
I really like the shadow of light through the glass and the grubbiness of the inside of the ashtray. I also like the way all edges are contained within the frame, nothing falls out, as it were.

I don't know about pencil addiction. Personally this week I've had enough of pencils. LOL. Great photo though. original idea, and pretty creative. I like how the light shines through the ash tray and makes the glares. sometimes glares work, sometime they don't and you have pulled it off nicely here. I also like how the eraser is gone. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

I like this....I love the reflection/shadow of the glass on the surface and the brightness of the photo.It fills the space well. I think this was a really clever idea and I would have never thought of it. Great Job 9 kdjohnson
