Thanks all for the comments! FWIW, this is the image I was trying to emulate -- I figured with all the smoke/dust/whatever the original was a little blurry too.
Here is the ashtray I used -- I took the image pretty much edge-on in SuperMacro mode (lens virtually in contact with the subject), holding it up so the bulb from an overhead light fixture was shining through the glass:

| Man, I hate finding I left a hard critique on one of yours. (At least I explained my low vote, right?) Well, congrats on the notoriety of achieving the brown, I suppose! |

| not sure what this is but your focus is to soft IMO...something needed to be in sharp focus... |

| Very blurry and grainy. Sometimes that works nicely for an abstract, but I'm afraid it's not coming off well with me on this one. |

| The abstract is good, so as the color. I just think that the harsh reflection at the middle, the focus, and the bottom/background of the shot aren't good. With more tweaking this shot would be nice! Good luck to you, sorry if i was rude! |

| This image meets the challenge but other than that lacks of everything: focus, impact, correct exposure and white balance, visual appeal. A brown ribbon is still a ribbon, though. This shot absolutely deserves it. |
