    That's a fun idea.

    That's a pretty clever interpretation. I think the blue edge of fabric in the upper left and the warm light falling on the second-to-right lens is a bit distracting, but otherwise it's a fantastic picture.

    Exactly! this 'glass' was the first thing I thought of when this DSS was announced!

    I think there are more interesting ways to present this and I think you can find them.


    Is this the glass you refer to in your sig?

    I suffer from a debilitating lack of imagination. Just way too literal and straightforward. And yup, this is (most of) the glass the wife is gradually becoming aware of. mwink.gif

    Cool interpretation! I was thinking perhaps of a "Star Chamber" or religious type of inquisition. Or maybe a wimpy new kid on the playground.

    Hey, thanks for noticing. I have my monitor brightness down pretty low, and never noticed the blue edge. When I cranked up the brightness in Lightroom after reading your observation, it just jumped right out. I'll fix that!

    LOVE the concept! thumb.gif

    Is there any way of reshooting/lighting so the "jury" lenses have reflections that look like eyes? I just want something a bit more.... I dunno.... condemning? Just something to add a hint more drama and humour to it. Your dry sense of humour and irony is evident to anybody who's read a single one of your posts, but why not make it visual, too?

    Just throwin' iit out there - may not work, but just a thought :D

    You clearly have me mistaken for someone else.

    Egad! I just saw my entry on this laptop, and realized how crappy it looks. I have my main computer monitor set to a lot lower brightness. When I get home sunday night I've got some serious editing to do! NOW I can really see what y'all are seeing. Blergh . . . It'll look better. honest. And will look more "menacing."

    Cleaned up edit!
    OK, this edit should look lots better on brighter monitors. What say you?
