Oh, Im glad i came back to this several times before commenting. I thought it was a ceramic bowl on a refective surface ans was confused by the shape of the reflection. Now I think it is a jar top and the lower part is part of the glass jar? We literal minded folks get upset when we can't identify things. I hope there are not as many literal voters who get hung up on "what is it?" because this is a lovely image whatever it is. There is a softness and a stoniness to it. The shadow part almost looks like a human neck (drat, there I go again, turning it into a bust with a pillbox hat).
One of the most interesting photos of a mason jar I've ever seen. Dark and moody, and some great selective lighting. Nice job. Not sure that it's the best pick for DPC, but *I* like it a lot.
I like this composition of the simple shape of the mason jar as it 'emerges' out of the darkness. The lighting is very good and complements the main object. The curves of the of the lid seem to protrude and not only come out of the darkness but seem to come our direction. My only critique on this piece is that the lid needs a bit more lighting such that the element of curves are continued in the photo. As it stands now the top portion of the lid is a broken circle. By making it an unbroken circle it would add to the curves seen here and add a readily recognized shape that would strengthen the visual appeal.
