Soooooooooooo well well well, where do I start? I did quiet alot outtakes for this usually I only take loads of shots last minute and bam submit it, this time I started very early in the week...
Started off with this:
Then completly came off from there, I had never done the water refraction thing so I decided I could work on that see how it goes... started off pretty bad I would say hahahaha:

But having the extra time allowed me to correct all the mistakes I could see on it, so here some other outtakes:

Finally here's the wonky original:
Didn't do alot of editing, just used the direct positive option on lightroom, cropped, unsharp mask and save for web!
I am very proud of this I am hoping for a 6+ score! OR ELSE!!!! ahahahaha =]

Very crisp and clear, with wonderful lighting and an excellent reflection. I like that you've highlighted the glass from the left, gives off a very nice effect with the reflection.

Edited for grammar ;)
well spotted with the typo... I liked it better when it said "crips" hahaahha ;]
No BOOBOO this time girl... very well done on the top 10 and new PB score.. ROCK ON!
Yeah! I told you I didn't make a booboo on the scores thread xD PROOF IS RIGHT HERE (apart from me confusing the icons and made a mess of the details bit)
Why do these darn cliche shots always look so good?! :-) You pulled it off quite nicely (except for the minor dust/dirt in the reflections on table). Good luck in the challenge.

I really want to not like this but I really love it! The lines and the refraction suck me in from both symmetries. Nice take on what I think is sometimes a cliche shot.
