Nice idea, Daniel, but it isn't really working for me.

Maybe having one glass (or two equally prominent) in the foreground then merging into a mass of glasses in the background would produce a stronger result. You have a few 'hotspot' issues there. Tricky to avoid completely though.

Thanks for the comment, Geoff! What is this "hotspot" issue?

[Geoff F]

It is slight areas of over exposure.

Glass is well known for producing problems. If you look around that image you will see some spots where over exposure has totally 'burnt out' any detail.

But, as I previously mentioned, often difficult/impossible to avoid. I get a lot of similar problems when photographing shiny insects. Using flash or other harsh lighting tends to make the issue worse.

i agree with Geoff

Is there another term for this? Every time I try to Google the term hot spots, I get these suggestions for places to photograph hahah...

Either way, I will have to keep that in mind for next time. Thanks again, Geoff!
