This is a great photo. I like how the light plays off the glass and looks like liquid. It seems a little noisy on the lower right, but onlt detracts a little from the photo. 9.
I seem to have a lot less trouble with outside and inside on this shot than I have had with similar pictures of the insides of flowers. I believe it is because you have given a balanced treatment to the outside and inside. The juxtaposition of concave and convex provides interesting comparisons. The translucency on the right hand side provides some sparkle and life. An 8.
Beautiful picture. Teriffic light study in addition to perfectly meeting the challenge. Love the solid black background. Definitely feel like I'm lookin "in" from the outside. Good job.
