This challenge is ideal for the studio photographer who likes to set up a shot – This is my first attempt at this type of photography. Even last place would be an honor for me in this arena.

This was just a simple shot through a vase of water. I used back-lighting to create the shadows and did not have the patients to re-shoot the picture to get rid of the bubbles in the bottom right corner. Photoshop was not used, No motion blur. (Thank You All for taking the time to critique).
Now here's an abstract image that I like :) I think I may be looking through glass.. this almost appears to be a distored reflection more than a transparency but the benefit of the doubt is yours on this one... the only minor complaing i have is the spots in the lower right quadrant of the image... good shot! = 7 - jmsetzler
Great effect, but seems more like a mirror. Others in this challenge have found good glass that distorts somewhat like this, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. (if mirror, please deduct 5 points) Photo 8 transparency 7 total 7 swash
Whoah! What a cool photo! This would make for an interesting "Photographers Self Portrait"! Really like the quality. lighting and effect. Good job! Done in photoshop or with mirrors??
I think this would be a lot cooler without that title. It encourages the viewer not to take it seriously, when it actually has a lot of artistic merit (at least to me). I love the way the eyes are stretched out like that :). Very weird and surreal.
