I like the careful placement which draws the eye to an implied line left of center. Yes, rotating the image clockwise slightly would straighten it, but there are a number of slightly out of kilter lines which balance each other, including the weave of the mat, the edges of the glasses themeselves, and the black/white separation.

 

Are these images just for fun, or have you found a market for them?

I like it. I just wonder how it would have looked on some clear or maybe smoked glass instead of the mat?

Beautifully done. I also initially felt that rotating a little to the right would help, but on further reflection, I agree with Carl that it might be better as is. I have enjoyed browsing through your portfolio.

 

Cheers.

An example of an image screened a few years ago on photo.net.

Were you - viewer - to do glasses, keeping in mind that you probably want an emotive or moving theme - which way would you choose?

Just adding the possibility of thought to your response.

Nice to see you back in the trenches.

 

I wouldn't choose.

 

The points of interest are very different. This is about distortion through diffraction. It has intellectual appeal. Emotional apppeal seems to me to be far more subjective.

 

I've seen many versions of the old upload including the 'tomato' POW, but I don't recall ever seeing the overlapping idea used in this way.

Barry, I'm guessing you are a person who loves to experiment visually and we are the benefactors. I can't imagine anyone could pre-visualize an image like this. Bravo.
