Hi. I'm new here. This shot is of the roof of the Chihuly Bridge at the Chihuly Museum in Tacoma. I took it on a bright sunny day and pointed the camera straight up. Frame added when I was playing with the original photo.
We have come to a new challenge, and as fate would have it I get to start you off on a new adventure. Glass can be a photographer's nightmare and yet when done well give a sense of real accomplishment. This is going to be another lesson in seeing, or as Sherlock Holmes would say in the power of observation. Keep in mind that glass reflects everything, however in this challenge it should only reflect what enhances the picture. Look closely at the item and insure only the reflections that you see are the ones you intended to be there. There are several good videos on YouTube about this subject. Here is one link that shows you how to do it without expensive equipment and what to look for during setup. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlQwt7_ZXKg As always have fun and keep in mind I will be watching. Here are a few to get you started.

Well here is my take. I am not sure but they might have been better if I had opened a bottle. :)
I see this is a very tiny image. I copied it from a site where I had originally posted it as I have no idea where the original is. But I will try to find it.

You did fine Al. Are you using incandescent light to give it a yellow cast on purpose or does your camera not have a white balance on it? I do like the "thinking out of the box" shot you took. It is nice to see things that are perceived in a different manner.
