I can say that I am never not impressed with the way your mind works. It took me a while before I figured out how you did the effects in this series and was amazed by it - I never would have thought of something like this myself. So, as always, amazing amazing amazing concept! The use of the lines in the tile is very eyecatching and works well to add a nice background, but also to lead the eyes to the focal point - the glasses (man, that was kind of full of unintentional optical puns). The lighting and vignetting definitely also add to that central, but dramatic feeling the piece has as a whole and the colors definitely highlight the feeling as well. I love the clarity and how easy it is to see all the words in the shadow. All in all, amazing work. Keep it up!

I only have one thing to say...

This is a really awesome idea ^^ And you pulled it off exceptionally well. I have to agree with ~ahailofbullets, especially about the clarity. It can be so hard to get clear shots when dealing with shadows. Awesome job ^^

Thank you very much! And it is great to hear from you again! Its been a while since I've had an idea pop in my head. My original idea started with the music one, but the Love glasses was kind of a fluke! I knew after I completed the music glasses that I wanted one that had the word love on it. At some point I just kept writing the word, "love." I had no idea how I wanted to shoot this photo. All I knew is that it would look similar to the music one. I decided to go outside and find a place to take this photo, then I looked down to grab my shoes. There was this unusually blurry shape of light on the floor. In the morning, the light is in the shape of a window on the other side of this room. I see it all the time, but never have I taken the time to see what it looks like during sunset. Granted, at sunset the light is relatively blocked by trees and other shrubbery in my backyard, so the light naturally looked dim and blurry. Staring at this light, I eventually placed the glasses down and started shooting...

I probably should've put that description in...the description! But I'd rather tell people instead.

Thanks for the great comment as always...

Ah, that is the beauty of art....the moment inspiration hits and takes physical form. This is another brilliantly captured idea.... The lines, the compositon, the shadows, they all work so well together for this shot....fabulous work!

Cheers!
