object is a dramatic shape to be placed on such a mundane background...need solid background for shape & shadow to really shine and would also accentuate the different textures in the object rather than background.

lovely feel to this shot. think I would have preferred that the candle not be in the shot...IMO it clutters your composition but understand you would have to have the light close to illuminate. good work!

Beneath Cocytus
by mcmurma

Comment:
For those of you that wondered how the shot was done, here goes: First we froze about a 1 inch thick slab of ice in a baking pan, then laid that on top of a glass end table. We did use a little green food coloring in the ice, and the tabletop had a green cast as well. Then my Wife was kind enough to flail about under the table trying to look like a totured soul ... Cocytus is a frozen river/lake in Hell. In Dante's Inferno its where traitors like Cain and Judas were punished for their sins of envy (hence the GREEN cast) by being trapped under the ice. Most of the green color was photoshop.

I didn't expect a lot of folks to get it, and I had hoped it would be better recieved than it was. What surprised me was that, green as it was, so few were able to make the connection to ENVY. Go figure.
