Date Uploaded: Jun 11, 2026

 It has been a while since I have participated in DPC - I hoe I got all my rules straight :-).
I love glass, and I love photographing it. I had several options for this archival challenge and eventually decided on this on (probably the "wrong" one as voters go ;-P.

BG is my computer screen, I created the BG mself in PS. reflective surface is just a shiny black board (not perspex), and then its just about playing with the glasses.

So elegant and theatrical. This image has the vibes of the early days of DPC... The glassware feels like performers on a stage, reflecting light, color, and celebration before the moment disappears. Congratulations, kasaba!

This is really well done. Frankly, I fully expected it would get the blue versus my entry.

A 10 from me. I don't know that I could imagine a more creative composition to showcase the fun things you can do with glass.

I liked the blue, but looks like you got some harsh votes to rob you of it.

Will be hard to beat! PERFECT IN EVERY WAY, considering how much I dislike wine glass challenges.

Rare 10.
