..."disgraceful"...IS THIS YOUR HOME WORK, TOMASZ?! (Yes Steve, its my home work). Someone here lead me up the raspberry's bush path.

By the way, nice tripod you have Deborah.

Thanks, Steve. The original photo is really interesting. It is amazing how low the chair is in the picture and how bright the reflection is.

Thanks again Steve.

Deborah thanks for the challenge images, but tough. Good to see so many having a go. You're lucky you excluded yourself

, but I think you would have enjoyed it.

I really liked Trevors entry - is that the first one where you didn't go off brief!

Thanks very much

. Not really, I do do several on-brief images in my view, but yes maybe those tend to drift from expected Gaussian norm whatever that is

Sorry going off on a side track: Reality a bit of question. I have some thoughts on that afterwards. Namely the I think the perspective follows through. I think this could have been a clue to placement, but I was not comfortable so started to fix(distort/warp) in my image. And the Blue at night, still researching some of that .. Its deep. Areas of physiology, perception and physics.

One question Deborah: when you took the photo was it RAW? Either way, the camera "sees" different to our eyes and we apply an algorithm to convert that to a human accepted [i]view[/view]. Subjective as you know. I think you know this area well. So philosophically, is there a discussion on the values of "reality" vs artistic interpretation(?) You've raised one.

A huge reflection from PDelavigne: but there's a transparent quality to this that works well, and the reflection of the viewer is a good addition in the foreground. Should she have been a little brighter?

But what's most interesting here is the fact that it's only the bright areas that reflect, not the dark ones -

Thanks Steve by your comments ... I agree with you about the blue cast of the scene (a bit strange for me too!) and about that I should lower the reflexion of the dark parts of the scene on the glass... but the reflexion of the woman shouldn´t be more brighter! don't forget she is not lighted by the lamp (she is facing away from it) she only receives a small portion of light as a return from the glass, she's almost a silhoutte.
