Most of a day was spent trying to light this glass without reflections. After trying to get a white background, my conclusion was that it was not possible to shoot through roll paper. At the suggestion of my son,I went with a beige. So, please feel free to critique. I am trying to learn and appreciate all criticism. Karen

I agree with others that a different background might have been a better choice for the image. You wrote in your comments that you tried to eliminate reflections. A few strategic light reflections might not have been a bad idea though. They would give depth to the picture. Here's a couple shots I took earlier this year where light is reflected off the glass. They seem to have been well received:
Nicely taken shot, though I found the background detracted from the picture. Perhaps a white background may have made the red and green stand out a bit more.
The lighting is a bit dark -- I'd like to see brighter colors. The background doesn't go well with the composition. It makes the colors look muddy. A white background might solve both the problems.
That is very nice. Simple and demostrates the challenge well. I'm not the best on choosing backgrounds, but I wonder if another color could enhance the photo. Possibly a black back with lighting on the colors to illuminate the. What would bottom light look like through the glass?
