About This is the base of a Finish glass bowl that was given to us as a wedding present 23 years ago. I simply held it up against the window - the green reflection is the grass in the back yard and the deeper red is the colour of the roof in the house next door.

I knew this bowl would be useful for something one day!

This really is a unique and wonderful image Phillip. The fact that it was a wedding present makes it all of a piece. I am so pleased (for you both!) that it was this that got the awards- well done.

Phillip  Minnis    {K:13452} 8/2/2006
Oh, Doyle, thanks for your comments!

I must say I was pretty thrilled when this one won. When I processed it, I had a good feeling about it - it just seemed to 'pop' off the screen. The two awards were made within a minute or so of uploading it.

Now, I'll have to work hard and see if I can do it again! :))))

Cheers

Phil

Oh, thanks, my mate, Joel!

I must admit, I'm pretty happy that this one won! Before I uploaded it I thought it was something a bit special!

Mate, now you need to start getting into the glass shots! :)

Have a great day!

Cheers

Phil


Joel Aron   {K:14920} 8/2/2006
It is special, Phil!

yeah.. i just need a day of down time (or just an hour to relax) and start shooting some glass. I tried all weekend, and according to our honest and good friends here on UF... I failed :) I kinda knew it, and to be honest, was rushing the shot, and not relaxed.

I have a plan :)

You nailed this on Phil! ..even clicking back on this to catch your reply, the image warps around the viewer.. there's no edge, and no end to the depth. Well done! (again!)

cheers,
-j


Phillip  Minnis    {K:13452} 8/2/2006
Oh, thanks, buddy!

I look forward to seeing the fruits of your plan! :)))

How would ever have thought that a disused wedding present would be this useful?? :))))

Cheers

Phil

Hi Phiilip, they have left me nothing to say. Couldn't let the opportunity pass to congratulate you on 2 home page images! Tell Karen I am sorry to hear you are now living on the street. Cheer up, warmer weather is on the way. (You have told her about the double mortgage I hope!)CC

Thanks for your comments, mate!

Cheers

:) Oh, Cathy, you've made a non-morning person have a good laugh, this morning! Thanks for your humourous comments! A great way to start off my day!

It's all a bit embarrassing - there are far better photographers on the site than I am, who deserve the front page more than I do! Anyway, I suppose I just have to grin and bear it! Life has a habit of throwing challenges at us along the way! :)))
