5 flashes set to 32nd power. Throw the glass, click the shutter, pray I get it. :D
I was surprised all week by the voting on this but a very pleasant surprise for sure.
I got called away on a family emergency a couple days ago and won't be able to submit a verification image until late Friday at the earliest. I hope that's ok. Thanks for the smiles. They're much appreciated. :D

Great capture. I love that the two glasses are at right angles, which adds a more orderly feeling to the chaotic moment. The only thing I might prefer is if the composition were less centered. This has a lot of potential for using negative space with a wider crop, especially if the shards were breaking in a more directional pattern (hard to do, I know). But as is, it's very good.
One of the few shots where I genuinely see Chaos in action. Very nicely done with the near perfect perpendicular on the stems (although it's pretty obvious that the glasses are laid out on a light table)...
nice timing! Very neat looking. I like how the highlights in the background direct the viewer to focus towards the center of the frame (not that it doesn't grab attention by itself)
