First of all, congratulations to all who found time to participate. The judges had no easy job, but here's the verdict! If I did this right, you should be able to click on the awrd and see the image!!
Congratulations to Amanda R.!
"The simplicity of this allows the light to absolutely dance throughout this shot. Also, contrasting lines make this quite visually appealing."
"Awesome example of glass using light and shadow, exactly what the challenge called for. Also, for a little added visual stimulation... contrasting lines. Really nice composition, filling the entire frame without giving a crowded feeling. To quote the first judge... "The simplicity of this allows the light to absolutely dance throughout this shot". I couldn't agree more. "
Congratulations to
Elaine 'Froglady' M!
Love the framing. The contrasting texture of the glass and the slight distortion creates alot of interest.
Congratulations to Tracey W.!
"Interesting composition and introducing the element of ice is a creative way to add contrast within the glass itself."
Congratulations to Hazel W.!
"While the focus in this is a little too soft for my taste, I like the way this does capture the challenge - the light through the glass and reflected beyond it allows all the elements to play off each other."
Congratulations to Trudy P.!
"The surface of this bowl creates an interesting canvas for the light and shadow to intermingle."
A quick break to dust off our cameras and clean our lens . . . push the kids back to class and allow people to submit ideas for the next project? What sounds good to you?
Thanks to all again . . . trying IS winning!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

A bit of a take-off on Trudy's suggestion--how about circles and/or curving lines?
