I made a make-shift fountain out of a glass vase by drilling a hole into the side of it and then using a small fountain pump I ran green water into the vase. I found a little egg cup that was alot smaller but about the same color. A few things, I do not like the line that was left in the background but because of the rules I left it. You can still see two little lines where the fishing line was used to help hold the vase in place. The rest of the line was eliminated in levels. This is possible because the subject was back-lit. The bottom of the vase is cut off to much, but this is to hide the line from the pump that is filling the vase. I plan on getting rid of the lines and moving the crop down some by using Photoshop in a manner that is not leagle for this challenge. Once I get around to becoming a member I will post the finished product in my portfolio. Thanks and enjoy.

I wish the bottom of the pitcher was in the photo, It would make a strong composition stronger. There is alot of white in the upper left, either re shoot or crop to match more closely.
This is a really interesting image, well composed, great color choices, and well focused. The line between wall and floor is a little distracting though.
if you went this far setting this up, why not go all the way? this would have been a 10 for me - without the tilted line in the background, the cropping of the bottle, the stains around the cup. I loved the coilours, it illustrates the concept really well 8
Nice idea that needs better execution. More back lighting would add to the drama and the horizontal(ish) line in the background (edge of table?) is a bit distracting
Great high key shot - well composed and lighted. My only minor complaint is the gray line where the "floor" meets the wall. Great choice of shutter speed.
