I had so much fun making this image! I kept coming up with one I liked, took it to processing, then thought of something else and re-shot. When I finally rested on this particular combination of elements, I was quite pleased with the results after post production and decided it might actually work well for this challenge. For better or worse, it's one of my favorites!

Process: Shadows, tone and highlight in Photoshop CS RAW, crop, curves, selective color, hue/saturation, sharpen, size, border.

I would have like it more if the peaces were placed in correct order.

Yours is an exciting composition and not one that is easy to photograph. The way you alternated the translucent and transparent pieces works well for the viewer. The brick wall in the background might have been better hidden. I can't quite figure out from which direction the lighting is coming. 8 for creative thinking.

Is there a reason for mixing figures this way? It immediately caught my attention, and I cannot decide if it has some hidden meaning, if it is supposed to enhance the artistic impression, or if it is just an oversight. I'm leaning towards the oversight theory, as it bothers me for some reason.
