Well done, reminds me of the Broken Primaries shot i saw at photosig (did i say Primaries????). This was tough to do and you controlled it well, including the light. Funny, it has a nice emotive quality to me. Yeah, it can just reflect an accident but it also can express violence/frustration - the viewer may read, or not, whatever he wants from it, right? That glass has a very nice, warm quality to it. Just from the light or some toning as well? 8
I can't help but wonder if broken glass was the original idea, or the result of "changed circumstances". Either way it's a very well executed shot - composition and lighting are particularly good.
Good job! Glass is very clean and sharply focused. I am not sure I would have chosen this floor surface, but it works. Composition is ok (I might have placed a piece or two of glass more toward the bottom portion of the frame).
Beautiful shot - I was going to try and do something like this for the challenge but I didn't have time in the end. Seeing this, IO'm glad I didn't end up competing against it. Excellent work.
The reflections add so much to this image. That and your choice of exposure. Focus is exactly where it needed to be, right on the sharp broken edges.
Are the reflections a window treatment or the inside of a light tent?
i like the composition. i think it would have been more powerful if you had been able to use the lighting and post processing to hide the black matt even further. i just copied into my photo software, decreased the light (gamma), increased the contrast and it was too dark overall, but the backdrop became invisible and i'm sure playing around with light and processing you could have achieved that outcome w/great effect.
effective shot...... not sure about the reflections in the glass..... detracts a little from the simplicity of the shot..... overall though it's a good shot.....
