Very Very nice Jim, Love the red gumball in the centre surrounded by the green/blue. The white glove is a great touch.

Cheers, Vikas.

I've learned on my new monitor that I got for _Christ_mas that I have to look at an image in daytime and at nighttime before I post it... or I might get a surprise. *sigh*

This is really good now, Jim. Well done! ~Lydia

Actually, she was right. Her monitor must be cranked up a bit brighter than mine, but even on mine, I could see it. It was actually the oak floor below where I shot this and it was there!

So I've tried to get rid of it in this version. I agree that it was distracting and I knew I was not really setting things up right when I took the shot. A bit more care in the setup would have made it easier.

In one way, I kind of liked a hint of the floor showing through, but the problem, for me, was that it made a discontinuity at the upper left corner more visible where I'd had to remove a more blatant reflection from a file cabinet that had been in the way at that location. Hopefully what I've done to it now is not too obvious yet eliminates the reddish background tinge :)

Thanks, Lydia, for the motivation to do what I probably should have done to begin with :) Jim H.

Ahhh, what red in the background?!? These monitor issues really bother me....but they are there. Best Wishes, Traveller

Wonderful, Jim! It's good to see an entry from you... and this one's so fun! I wish the slight red in the background weren't there... perhaps solid black would be better?
The white glove, blue glass, red gumball in all of the green is GREATness! ~Lydia

Go Jim! I love it when you sneak in under the wire with an image that commands attention. This is great fun with very nicely lighting. -Michael
