 It was a little difficult coming up with a cool idea for this challenge. I was not satisfied at all with my first idea, so I kept playing until I came up with this. Blue wine glass standing on mirror with spoon balanced on rim.

Shot in raw, fluorescent lighting white balance, crop, resize, tiny blue saturation, curves, sharpen.

** Greetings from the Critique Club **

An interesting take on this difficult challenge. While many people seem to dislike centered subjects, I find this works well here. The focus and DOF are well executed. The only problem I see with this is the overall darkness. It makes it hard to see what you were shooting. To be honest, it was not until I read your comments that I realized what you had done.

Too dark. But the 'alien eyes' effect is pretty cool
