Like the shadow

I wish I knew what it was (though not knowing doesn't detract from the appeal of the photo at all). I really like the picture. great lighting and colors. the one thing I would reccomend is to move slightly to the left to increase the distance between the original and the shadow, putting one near each corner. great shot, though.

I love the play of light in this photo. Sorry I have no constructive critisism.
08/11/2002 01:39:00 AM
interesting picture, but it is old?
08/10/2002 11:01:00 PM
That shadow is beautiful!
08/10/2002 02:04:00 AM
this is way to contrived.
08/09/2002 11:50:00 AM
Great technical photo. Does not evoke thoughts of oldness as much as it should, though.
08/08/2002 04:32:00 PM
I like this very much. I'd crop a little at the left but that's it. The play of light through the glass is so perfectly visible in the shadow - it's great.

This is an excellent composition and I love the shadow play in this photo. My only trouble is that I don't think I understand what I'm looking at and i'm not receiving the 'old' message. I assume the object that is holding the brandy snifter is old possibly... I may need some help with this one after the challenge :) - jmsetzler

What does this have to do with the challenge?
08/07/2002 05:07:00 PM
The idea is great, i would have just worked with the lighting more to eliminate the hot spots., and try to create a more solid shadow.
08/07/2002 12:10:00 PM
great shot,composition, and color. I especially like the shadow
08/07/2002 10:09:00 AM
Really interesting unique image. I love the shadow. I have no idea what the heck it is, but it sure makes me want to look at it :-)
08/07/2002 10:07:00 AM
excellent 6
08/07/2002 08:03:00 AM
A very nice photograph, though I'm not sure what it is.

Wow - a real cognac drinker. Lovely placement of subject and great framing. The spotlight behind the glass is just a touch too strong for my taste but it leads the eye perfectly. Excellent set up and execution. 9 from me.

I like the shadow. Cool shot. karmat

Very creative use of lighting to make a mood and augment the image. This is one of the best I've seen in this challenge, truly outstanding!
08/06/2002 05:06:00 PM
Nice still life shot. Interesting set-up and lighting.
08/06/2002 12:19:00 PM
It doesn't strike me as something old instantly, but it is a very interesting shot otherwise.
08/06/2002 06:42:00 AM
I like this, great lighting. For me there's just a bit too much negative space. Maybe shooting portait and cropping tighter - all very subjective though. Well done - lamedos

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - very good
Technical Aspects - very good. The bright light on the wall bothers me a little, but not enough to mark down.
Meets Challenge - yes
Visual Impact / Originality - high
08/05/2002 06:03:00 PM
What IS that?
08/05/2002 02:26:00 PM
Beautiful, beautiful image. Love that warm light. Will revisit this lateron. Too bad of the jaggedness of the top diagonal line of the snifter.
08/05/2002 11:57:00 AM
Nice--what did it look like with the flame on? Good picture!!
08/05/2002 11:32:00 AM
The object in this photo is really interesting. I am wondering what it is. I like this photo allot.
08/05/2002 10:12:00 AM
This has meaning to you I can tell
08/05/2002 05:47:00 AM
Would have excellent for the "Shadows" challenge also.
08/05/2002 01:48:00 AM
Very good still life with compostion, light, color.
08/05/2002 01:41:00 AM
perhaps Im not old enough to understand this shot. What I see is a Brandy glass and an oil candle.. although a cool shot, I wish I could relate it to "something old" - perphaps if you could email me -cq107

Composition is one of my hardest things to conceive. I like the composition of the picture. Question though, what is "old" in this picture?
