Your lighting could have been better as the current setup is leaving two sets of shadows which are distracting

Those aren't shadows, they are reflections. The stones are sitting on glass, hence the double-ness.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

The comment you reference, although mistaken about shadow vs reflection, does have a point - i'd love to see this reshot on a non-glass based mirror surface... the ethereal quality of the rocks with the backlight make the shot what it is. Great stuff!

One of the best stone shots in the challenge, the transparency of the top ones looks great. Your lighting could have been better as the current setup is leaving two sets of shadows which are distracting

Stunning. Of all the stacked rocks in this show, this is my favorite. Is that translucent rocks on top? (9)
