3rd place
Glass on Glass
by Sky

This photo was accomplished by placing three marbles on a mirror that was situated inside a shadow box. The marbles almost look like peaches to me. Nonetheless, the most challenging aspect of this photo was keeping the marbles from rolling around. At one point I even considered super glue! Then considering my 'luck' - I would have probably ended up gluing myself to my camera.

I really like the soft feel you managed to achieve with these marbles, Sky, and they do, indeed, look like peaches. Gorgeous image!

Wow cool! These look like salmon eggs to me. Anybody for caviar? Ann C

Beautiful composition - I love the color and sheen, the reflection, and the way they look like they're suspended in mid-air!

This is lovely, Sky! Love the warm light in the marbles contrasting against the black as well as the reflection. Nicely done!
