I couldn't take many tries really, my batteries died.
I wasn't sure if I should enter this one or one without the bathing suit tip and the bird is covering the model. The boy's I asked like that one more, but the focus was even worse on that one.

I bet there will be a TON of stained glass pictures. It was the first thing I thought of when I read the challenge details.

I inherited the cockateil from my kinda grandmother. She passed away a few years ago and it was made by her landscaper, Pat. It's always hung in our window that catches the most light and I have always liked it.

I've learned to never underestimate the full weight of lead and glass suspending from your bikini top.

Nice attempt but I feel the image is overall quite flat, possibly due to the glass part looking a little out of focus or just very soft.

Nice idea, pity the lighting isnĀ“t all that good and also the shot seems to have syndromes of hand shake, was the light not enough for you to get a decent shutterspeed? Wish this was lit more mysteriously and was crystal clear and sharp, then I really would have liked it. Anyway, nice idea and keep at it, this is very promising, you just need to work on your technical skills but the imagination and creativity seems to be there.

A pretty un-PC play on words, but it gave me a smile.

Would have preferred this to be sharper, but interesting idea.

your entry is too much OOF and could use some contrast.

Very interesting vision. Definitely thinking outside the box!

Different approach to the subject! I like that you cut her head off but am not sure about the arms straight out and cut off. Overall the picture seems very soft.

It's hard to say this, but it's actually not that pleasing to my eye. Maybe coz I'm not interested in the glass. Too bright on the right side of photo.

this could be much better with softer lighting and more contrast. extra point for such an out of the box idea though.

This just doesn't seem to fit together.

pity it's so blurry as it would have been a great shot

Ummmmm........ ok, this could have beeen improved by softer lighting, more contrast and cropping down to under the subject's bustline...

what is so glassy about this?

I don't get it.
Overexposed to the left.
A bit out of focus.
