Thanks for top 10! I really thought the voters were pretty forgiving of my first attempt at lighting glass with my homemade light tent. Next time i'll use some subtractive material to minimize glare.

Cute! Very nice idea. For this one though I wouldn't have minded a centered crop. Find the right side's reflection on the glass a bit severe when compared to the other side and the blue slide isn't even. But still really like this one. - 7

How'd you train the fish to stay on the blue side?
Only thing I can see that'll hit you with voters is the light coloring, and reflections on the glass.
SO hard to deal with, but imperative. Deeper, more vibrant color, and smoother, reflection-free (or reflection-muted) glass will garner you a better score.
However, the idea is top-notch, even though it's been done before, never quite like this.
Like this one, would like it even better if the whole image was in focus, but I think it works well for the challenge, and is a lot more unique than the million red and green pepper images submitted for the challenge.
4 - Colors are quite good. Not 'clean enough' to be a good refraction shot though in my opinion. Also a little risky doing such a shot here so soon after that other Challenge, unless it is 'special'.
this should do really well...a top 10 finish I reckon...I thought we would see a lot of these shots, but thankfully for you, there are not many...this is the best one, good luck 9
Cliche allright! Still, good idea. The fish is a great focus point, but the light on the bottom right of the glass snatches my attention away. Perhaps with a smaller aperture the depth of field would be increased, and the edges of the glass would be in focus too. A black background behind the camera may have removed the reflections in the glass, and the little something at the bottom of the glass caught my eye (fish food?). Good photo!
