Surprising refraction in waterjug! I would have expected it too distorted, but it has just reversed the image and somehow intensified the contrast

I suspect more contrast in the background would be even better, and even if the light was moved so that there was no light reflecting off the surface of the picture you would have an image with a startling result. It has given me the idea to try it myself. I wish you well with the image

I really like this composition, great example of refraction - tough lighting - the hot spot distracts my eye. Too bad this wasn't an advanced editing challenge!

I would wish there was better focus, a very good idea, but the shot isn't good enough.

The title is really funny. The highlight in the middle of the pitcher really hurts the image because the eye is constantly battling with it.
