I think you had a great idea. Just sorry for you that it didn't do better. It is a bit soft but without enhancement I think its a good shot
and I like this.

Thank you all for your suprisingly helpful comments, this shot had no adjustments (besides re-sizing) done to it, its contrast as many of you mentioned could have been easily increased if i would have put it through photoshop....next challenge----------> things that go together....

This actually has the makings of a great shot - good lighting, excellent composition. Shutter speed is too slow to prevent blurring and the dark blob at top is unnecessary.

Bumping up the contrast should help the shot from looking flat. The color are muted and doesn't have the impact it deserves. The composition is interesting with the nice shadow.

Clever.

Camera movement? Just a bit soft. Good idea but kind of empty looking. Good luck in the challenge.

Intersting photo. But I wonder if I'd acually see it in National Geographic.

I think your title could have been used to enhance the shot here.

I like the colours here, the sun reflecting an the top right is nice, the glass looks a little blurred, but a sharpen up would have helped this greatly. In all, a nice shot! 7

Better lighting would have given this some needed punch. Seems a bit soft. Creative subject - unique idea from the shots I've seen so far
