I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at, but it does feel like glass! I like the symmetry and the color -- it really sets an almost churchlike mood.

Man in the broken glass

Interesting concept -- would have liked to maybe see a closeup on the face, or at least a clear view of both eyes. That would have given this picture more mood, I think.

I don't see how this meets the challenge topic -- am I missing something?

lots of glass

The dirt on the bowl in the left of the photo is very distracting. Otherwise, the white-on-white concept is cool!

Broken and Cold

Wow, what a mood this sets. I'm feeling sad for the broken whatever-it-was. Good choice of focus, though the sky is a little bland.

Interesting choice of backdrop! That makes all the difference in this one. I can really feel the weight of the glass. Great job!

Looks a little fuzzy and indistinct on my screen, but it may be my monitor.

Looking Out

A bit more reflection in the window would make me feel like this was focused more on the challenge, but the photo itself is lovely!

Helicopter dusting crops

Thanks for the comments, folks! I had one that I'd cropped in MUCH closer, and it was a lot brighter that way, but I thought the way the helicopter stood out with the mist was somehow more interesting. Also, when it was cropped closer, it was just a helicopter and not a dramatic crop-duster flying over a neighborhood and waking everyone up.

I must agree with y'all, though, that it doesn't work very well as a photograph in a general sense. Ah, next week, perhaps! :)

VERY nice approach to this monument! By removing the most recognizable part, the dome on top, you've gotten us to pay attention to the other qualities that make it so beautiful. Also like the lighting in this one. Late afternoon?
