stemked 4 Posted April 12, 2003 I really like this image, however the reflections are very distracting and keep this from being a stunning image. Maybe try using a polarizer? Link to comment
richard blount 0 Posted April 12, 2003 A very pleasing photograph Vlad, it's very difficult to photograph glass but you have achieved it, it really sparkles and looks translucent. Well done. Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted April 13, 2003 I assume that, because your info says that you used a polarizer, that you did. Is there any other way to cut down the reflections? Otherwise, it's a nice shot ... great idea! Link to comment
vlad po... 1 Posted April 13, 2003 Doug, Richard, Igor and Lou Ann, thanks for stopping by. My purpose here wasn't advertise glassware, and I realized that there would be reflections of everything around. Of course, I used polarizer, I used to use it almost permanently, you may find a reference to it in most of my image tech dets. I did this in my kitchen, used just regular electric light available and tripod. Reflections were a part of the 'EggGame'. To make a 'real fine art' I would do shots in a studo or at least, in some corner with monochrome screened (black, white, red...) walls and diffuse light. Link to comment
rdwhiteman 0 Posted April 13, 2003 I agree that you should leave the kitchen out of the glassware. Not difficult to do "white line" lighting. The composition and subject are very nice as well as the overall presentation. Real eye-catcher at first glance but then the kitchen appears... Link to comment
julia_liu 0 Posted April 13, 2003 in any case, this is an original picture, nicely done, the picture could be bigger though. Link to comment
nickolay_lavrik 0 Posted April 13, 2003 Excellent idea, Vlad. Unexpected combination of objects. I am tempted to try something similar ;-)) Not quite sure about the reflections in the upper part of the glasses but I find it very interesting how the eggs overlap with the reflection from the glass. This makes the eggs look glassy. Link to comment
americo_vespucci 0 Posted April 13, 2003 I like this pic as it is. Very good idea, Vlad! Link to comment
dominiquedodge 0 Posted April 14, 2003 I like it all the more because it was done in a kitchen - let this sort of thing be an inspiration to those of us who've never been near a studio and are not likely to! Thanks. The idea is original and the composition spot on. Link to comment
galina stepanova 0 Posted April 14, 2003 Reflections appear to bring eggs to life. Nice job! Link to comment
jason_gilliver 0 Posted April 14, 2003 Great work. For me the reflections enhance the shot, not detract from it. Glass is reflective and you have captured it very well. It makes me wonder what the reflections are of. Link to comment
vlad po... 1 Posted April 14, 2003 I'd like to say thank you to all photonetters who stopped by to critique and rate on this image. Link to comment

vlad po... 1 Posted April 17, 2003 Thanks, David, for your comment, technical excellence is my dream goal, so it's pleasant to hear that I've achieved it. As for idea, it is in interaction of various shapes and the light. Link to comment
