Found this on my voting going thru. Great! You've really captured the awe of the piece---some ancient artist who melded those pieces of glass into an evocative gaze. The colors and contrast in textures, and the angle you shot it, to bring out dimension--all lovely. I hestiate to say it, but: good eye, Fremiet! - Ro

Fremiet, I like your capture of the contrast between the smooth, reflective eye and the surrounding, rougher textures...neat piece from antiquity. MFC

This gets your attention, even in the thumbnail size! Nice image, Fremiet, especially with the reflection. Bev
