Was torn on which picture to use for this challenge.....I did alot of reading about hades. During the Titanmochy war he received a helmet from three Cyclopes. The helmet was made of dogskin and had wings on the sides...It granted the person wearing it invisibilty from being seen by immortals as well as mortals..I also found it interesting that one of the roman names for hades is orcus..It was used to represent hades more evil and punishing side. This is where the word ogre or orc eventually comes from ..Not much editing little cropping and brightness contrast stuff........

When I looked at this in voting, I didn't even realize this was in the sink. it looked like a giant robotic eye or something. I gave it a 7 and I think you got robbed.

I think you could have done much better on the lighting, and I'm not sure what the rod and other clear objects are for, but I like the transparent figure in the sink a lot along with the skewed composition.

I think that a little more work could have been put in this for the name's sake. But otherwise, GREAT PHOTO, I love the idea and the mystical feedback I get when I see things like this. High points on this one no question.
