Broken Glass (from pitcher to candle holder) -- Take 2

[Mike Buckley]

The image shown below is the exact same setup used in my first image. Only the position of the broken glass and the candle are changed.

A bit more transparency and edge detail in the original but just as dynamic.

[Geoff F]

I prefer this angle.

[Dave Humphries]

Hmmm, that's weird; the glass has turned, but the candle hasn't
Although they have exchanged positions

For folks wishing to compare them, here's how:
You already have this thread open in your browser (or you wouldn't be reading this)
Right click the link in Mike's initial post in this thread and choose to "Open in a new tab"
Go to the new tab and click on the image there so it opens in the LyteBox
Then click back on this tab and click on image above so it also opens in the LyteBox
You can now alternate between the two tabs to compare images and decide which you prefer

Well that's how on a Windows computer with a two-three button mouse, those of you with tablets or those 'fruity' computers with only one mouse button will have to work it out for yourselves

Enjoy, Dave

Very nice Mike I actually don't want to make a choice between this and the previous image, they are both nice. As an alternative shot, I would wait for the candle to melt and leak a bit more. Then I think the bottom part of the pitcher would look nicer with leaking red wax.

Thanks, everyone!

You should be a detective.

A difficult one to pull of Mike I suspect due to balancing the various light sources and works well as with the last one.

These are both nice to look at but there is use a difference in the feel. In the first, the bottle seems to be shielding the candle whereas in the second it is presenting the candle to the viewer. I wondered for a long time whether the same image of the candle was used in both but came to the conclusion that they are different, but with only minute changes to the lighting or point of view.

Thank you to Grahame and Tony!

The primary reason I favor this one (as opposed to the other one that my wife favors) is that the shape of the glass reminds me of the shape of a candle flame. The other reason is that I like that the main body of glass, when presented at this angle, is more plain.

Tony: You are correct that the presentation of the candle (actually, of everything) is different in the two images; each image was made using only one capture.

Very nice Mike, I prefer this one myself.

Thanks, Matt!
