My idea with this photograph was to make as much of the glass disappear as possible... I setup this glass on black posterboard with black posterboard as a bakcdrop as well. I filled the glass with water and added one drop of red food coloring. I made about 75 shots with the light at different positions, and this is the result that I liked best.
The theme on the "Blood Sport" photo is one of the gambles/risks involved with drinking. The dice are symbolic of the gamble and the blood red liquid is symbolic of the alcohol and tragedies that are sometimes caused by it.
This photo scored ok but it didn't stir up many comments...
clean, technically well lit and shot - not sure it really says much to me though. Slightly disturbed that the glass dissappears towards the upper left. Don't get the title - Gordon
Apologies for not leaving a proper comment. Please email me if you'd really like one. I will try and leave one either this week or at a later date. 6, Kavey
this is a very interesting and imaginative shot .. i like the surface it's on and how you've gotten the background to go dark, giving a sense of space.. very creative, reminds me of something i would see in a video game like quake or unreal : ) .. you should be an artist : ) 8. mag99
Composition: 7 Lighting: 7 Appeal:6, Total Rating 7 Sulamk On a relook at this I have marked it up I think that my first rating was based on a poorly adjusted screen I lost all detail in the bottom half of the pic, which I now see.
Ususally photos with wine or martini glasses turn me off. This I really like. The red reflection on the dice is beautiful. Interesting use of negative space -- in the glass and around it. Great job.
